Author

Melissa Olthoff spent her youth daydreaming about riding dragons and slaying monsters. After joining the United States Air Force, she might not have gotten to ride any dragons, but she had plenty of real-world adventures over the years—including flying the T-6, becoming a certified Air Traffic Controller, and (her personal favorite) somehow surviving the shenanigans of her airmen. Eventually, she rejoined the civilian workforce as a responsible adult. Sort of. She now works as an accountant and is back to daydreaming of adventure. Sometimes those daydreams even make good stories. Melissa currently resides in Tennessee with her husband, two children, and two dogs. You can find her on Facebook and at melissaolthoff.net.
