name: Melissa  Rosenberger
about: Melissa loved writing and illustrating stories as a child, and authored her first book at the age of six. However, she eventually chose a career in medicine, practicing as an anesthesiologist for nearly a decade. Believing it’s never too late to discover God’s unique plans for each of us, Melissa stepped away from medicine in 2014. A tour of Israel inspired both the research for her debut novel and her return to writing. She spends her free time creating stained glass, enjoying telenovelas and wandering the paths of a local arboretum. Her biggest writing distractions are her two cats who believe any time is a good time for snacks. When not dispensing treats, she’s working on the sequel to In the Shadow of the King.
