Hello! My name is Melissa - Nova is my great-grandmother's name, and I've always loved it, so I thought it would make a wonderful penname. I am twenty three years old, and a complete slacker who would love nothing more than to get a new car and write for the rest of her life. I have been writing since I was about ten, and I'd like to think that I get a little better each time that I write. I write because I would probably go insane if I didn't have a way of getting out all the untold stories in my head and onto paper.

I have a ton of stories on my computer, most half finished, some just started, that may or may not see an audience, so for now I have this one and one other on the website of a friend of mine, who was kind enough to let me borrow her character for the story, called 'One Flew Over the Robyn's Nest.' You can find it here: http://sayo.liquidwire.org/samurai/fanfics/melissa/robnestmain.html

'Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.' - T.E. Lawrence
