About

Melissa Caddell

About me professionally: BS in Biology, Masters in Public Health (which means I really mean it when I tell my kids to wash their hands).  I am a writer and some of my recent work can be found in MomSense magazine and on Examiner.com.  I am currently working on my debut novel–a young adult scifi that began as a project for NaNoWriMo in 2008. Co-founder of Bookalachi.com, where we review kid and YA books based on content.

About me personally: married, 3 kids, ‘burbs. New homeschool mom. Yikes. Coffee-snob (no, really).  Fav drink is a grande quad shot toffee nut latte. Yum. Love to read and occassionally scrapbook–which surprises me ’cause I just don’t seem that crafty to myself.  Wish I could be a photojournalist when I grow up. Spent some time in East Africa in my teens–grateful for that experience beyond measure. I love sunflowers, the color orange and rainy days.  I loathe injustice and my heart breaks for children who suffer from neglect, abuse or the bad decisions of the adults in their life.
