Hi and welcome! I'm Melissa Gravitis, a screenwriter, novelist and follower of Jesus. I have a passion for fiction writing, reading, sketching, and following dreams. If you can't find me reading stacks of sci-fi and fantasy books, you can find me pounding the keys on my laptop, or watching the latest Star Wars release. And yes, I do own a quill pen!
