Laura Melvin is a Canadian fiction writer focusing on the weird, the unnerving and the downright terrifying. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and, much to her parents’ disappointment, abandoned her quest for a doctorate and pursued writing instead. The family now must pay for their own therapy. Laura lives and works from the suburban wilds surrounding Vancouver. In her spare time, she hikes, does yoga, and contemplates the benefits of becoming a bog-witch living in the dark mossy forests of the Pacific Northwest.
