About

My Story

Melissa Algood is a true crime-obsessed dyslexic who read Helter Skelter and Six of Crows in one sitting.

Although not at the same time.

Her hometown, Annapolis, inspired the setting of Everything That Counts, a coming-of-age story of a geek who yearns to be cool. The Greater Good series follows a bloodthirsty assassin and her ex-Navy S.E.A.L. handler; the three-book series has a body count which matches the make-out count. Her award-winning short fiction can be found in Everyone Dies: Tales from a Morbid Author. And she reimagined 2020 including superpowered twenty-somethings that are tired of being government experiments and are fighting back in the Enhanced Being Series which starts with The Girl in the Fog.

Melissa's moved over twenty times in her life, including California, Puerto Rico, and D.C., before making Houston her home. She's a hairstylist in the 'real' world and lives with her longtime love, Izzy, and Madame Bijou, their tuxedo cat.
