Hey there, Wattpad fam!  I am looking for a few alpha & beta readers to give me feedback. If you love contemporary romance and want to help me make my stories the best they can be, please let me know! I'd love to hear from you!

Hi, I'm ML Mellon - a small-town entrepreneur, wife, mom, and creator at heart. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 24 years, and we have two fantastic adult children (plus three spoiled dogs that keep life entertaining!).

Since 2004, I've operated a licensed home-based childcare facility, creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and grow. Beyond childcare, I pour my creativity into LaRae & Co. Threads, my apparel and lifestyle brand. I design inspiring, witty, and trendy shirts, crewnecks, and candles that help people express themselves and find a little joy in their everyday lives.

I'm a die-hard romance reader and am currently writing my first contemporary romance novel. I love getting lost in a good love story - whether I'm reading one or creating one - and I'm passionate about capturing those heart-flip moments that make readers swoon.

When I'm not designing, writing, or running my shop, you'll probably find me tending to my plants and gardens, bird-watching, or sitting on the deck with a good cup of coffee, reflecting on life's little moments.

At my core, I love to create, to connect, and to make the world a little brighter - one shirt, one post, one story, and one smile at a time.
