On This Day (26 page)

Over the years Melody Carlson has worn many hats, from preschool teacher to youth counselor to political activist to senior editor. But most of all,
she loves to write!
Currently she freelances from her home. In the past nine years, she has published more than a hundred books for children, teens, and adults—with sales totaling more than two million and many titles appearing on the ECPA Bestsellers List. Several of her books have been finalists for, and winners of, various writing awards, including the Gold Medallion and the Rita Award. She has two grown sons and lives in Central Oregon with her husband and chocolate Lab retriever. She and her family enjoy skiing, hiking, gardening, camping, and biking in the beautiful Cascade Mountains.
