Melissa Thayer was born at a young age somewhere in Sin City and has since lived on both coasts and a little in between. Having been accused of appearing too serious and serially chided to smile more, she would like to leave this disclaimer: "Chill, dude, it's just my resting face."

Her debut novel, a literary fiction called THE STORIES WE DON'T TELL, is set for release in 2014 from Booktrope Publishing. 

She is currently working on a novel steeped in magical realism.  

Two of her short stories, "The Professor" and "Salad Days" have been published in Wrist Literary Magazine.

The stories posted here are unedited and purely for the sake of sharing stories that otherwise would live only in notebooks.
