About the Author

Melissa Lenhardt

Melissa Lenhardt is a Women's fiction, mystery, and historical fiction author. Her debut mystery, STILLWATER, was a finalist for the 2014 Whidbey Writers' MFA Alumni Emerging Writers Contest, and SAWBONES, her historical fiction debut, was hailed as a "thoroughly original, smart and satisfying hybrid, perhaps a new sub-genre: the feminist Western" by Lone Star Literary Life. The New York Times called her sixth novel, HERESY, "An all-out women-driven, queer, transgender, multiracial takeover of the Old West". THE SECRET OF YOU AND ME, her seventh novel and her first contemporary women's fiction novel, will be published by Graydon House on August 4, 2020. When Melissa isn't writing, she's thinking, "I really should be writing." A lifelong Texan, she lives in the Dallas area with her husband, two sons, and Golden Retriever, Hazel.
