🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Melissa McPhail
Her love for the fantasy genre might have started at that age too when she would spend every afternoon listening to the “Chronicles of Narnia” read to her by her grandmother. McPhail’s love for composing and writing found expression when she was attending a boarding school in Oregon. She had begged her mother to send her to school where she could exercise her independent-mindedness and freedom. Melissa McPhail penned countless songs and stories, most of the former inspired by some handsome but ultimately worthless boys. She also performed some of the songs, read Ayn Rand, Dickens, Shakespeare, and even chapters from the Talmud, Baghavad Gita the Bible, and the Koran. She also studied philosophy from Plato and the likes of Payne.
