Hi, I'm Mel Sherratt - it's great to meet you. I'm a bestselling author and general book nerd, with twenty-eight novels selling over two million books worldwide.
As Mel, I write crime fiction - dark stories with an emotional punch. As Marcie Steele, I write women's fiction - stories about everyday people with an emotional pull.
I also write a blog that mostly covers what I get up to - as an author, writer, reader and TV watcher.
There are two sides to every story...
