NOTES FROM THE NEST

About Mel
Writing about myself is so awkward. But you asked, so here goes…
I stumbled into this in 2013 when my nest emptied. The youngest of my two sons headed east to play football at the University of Kentucky. My oldest son was living in LA, living his dream of working in the film industry. My full-time job was done, and I was lost.
I did a lot of soul searching, reflecting and ended up returning to what had always been there for me, through the best and the worst of times. And there have been plenty of both over my six decades here. But I’ll share that another time.
Writing, creating and connecting – my big three. I started journaling, which lead to storytelling, creating content and the rest – well here I am. And here you are, I’m so glad. I’ve found, through all of this that together is better. It’s a lot more fun, that’s for sure.
These past few years I’ve met incredibly talented, inspiring people, and together we’ve done some pretty cool stuff. Caren Glasser interviewed me on her Author Spotlight podcast, and we knew that something special had begun. Last year we launched the Life Uncorked. I have ventured into the romance genre and am completing the Running With Our Eyes Closed Trilogy, getting it ready for film adaptation.
The thread that weaves my work together is that we are strong, passionate souls and our age is irrelevant. It’s the energy we give to the life we dream of and it’s here… now…

A midlife coming of age story for any woman who has ever felt like she was playing a supporting role in her own life. 47-year-old Samantha has been a devoted mother and wife, until now. Her heart is as empty as her nest. After months of soul-searching, Samantha finally finds the courage to leave her seemingly perfect life behind.
But when she joins her husband, Michael, in Italy, Samantha discovers he’s not the man she thought he was. Over seven days, in one of the most romantic countries in the world, the couple comes face to face with the inevitable changes a relationship experiences. From their first kiss to what could be their last dance, Samantha and Michael leave nothing to chance to see if they can overcome the lies and secrets between them. To write a new chapter together.
As Samantha confronts the present turmoil in her marriage, and the past she thought she’d overcome she finds the strength she’d longed for. She realizes that endings are liberating, that life is unpredictable, that embracing the future, wherever it takes you is the only way forward. And that sensuality’s flames burn hotter as the years pass.
“In this debut novel, ... In the sun-kissed Tuscany region of Italy, Samantha is reexamining her life and her 25-year marriage to Michael. The ensuing narrative gives Samantha’s choices the gravitas they deserve as she vacillates between different paths to take... revealing the difficulty of navigating a troubled relationship.”
“A book not only for empty-nesters, but for everyone who needs to feel that we are not alone on this journey... this dance...our lives.”
