Who are you?

We were supposed to be secret agents during the Roaring Twenties or working for Scotland Yard in Edwardian London. Unfortunately, we were born in the wrong time, so we became YA and adult fiction authors instead. Melanie grew up in Massachusetts, earned a BFA in Acting from New York University and was an editor at Warner Books and Grand Central Publishing before turning to writing her own stories. She currently resides in New Jersey. Sandra hails from Connecticut, earned her BA in English from Bryn Mawr College and did her own stab at acting with a women’s theater company before taking characters to the page. She alternates time between Connecticut and New York City. We met in a writer’s group and decided to join forces to write something completely different, so now we’re middle grade authors as well!
