About Melanie Jacobson
Melanie Bennett Jacobson is a bestselling inspirational, historical romance, and general romance fiction novelist. She met her husband online and they now live happily married in California with their children and all manner of doomed houseplants. Melanie began writing LDS novels as she discovered that there were many worthy stories with confident, strong, and lighthearted that were not being told. Many of these stories were not necessarily trials of faith with firm testimonies and issue-driven themes. For the most part, they are built around the idea that being a Mormon does not have to be hard and super serious all the time and it is fun to be LDS. Now that she is a bestselling author, she spends most of her time writing her fiction works.
