Biography

Melissa, or Mia to her friends, is an ironically macabre contradiction. A girly tomboy, full of sunshine and rainbows... and dark and dreary things.She has been steeped in her love of English and writing since middle school. This brainiac earned an interdisciplinary double-major BA in English/Philosophy at UNM, dabbling in psychology and sociology before scholarship dollars ran out. A starving artist living the dream. She blames travel with International Student Volunteers in college for igniting a wanderlust that has so far taken her to New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Egypt, Canada, the Caribbean and most of our 50 United States. This summer, Mia puts that double-major to good use as she takes her love of writing, travel and culture on a continental road tour with S.O. Jeremy in their VW Vanagon, lovingly named Moya. Follow Mia as she partakes in the food, drink and friendship they find on their nomadic journey and shares her intellectual adventures of a vagabond life on the road.

L is for Love (A Serial Killer Story)

Viktor: Part II The rain that splattered against the windshield of the car obscured Lynn’s vision more than the normal night sky usually did. She really needed to get a new pair of glasses; Lord knew every light she saw looked like the Bethlehem star from Christmas books when she drove at night. Damn astigmatism. …

Defining Freedom

“The time has come!” the walrus said, “to talk of many things!” Only we aren’t talking about shoes and ships and sealing wax or cabbages or kings. The only topics floating around now are voyage related: tires, gas, supplies, and goodbyes have all been checked off the list. Now the only thing left is to …
