M. Jayne

In 2015, Melanie Jayne published her first contemporary romance. She wrote The Party Plan which features characters over the age of 35, because she couldn’t find any books that featured older characters. She was a part of the trailblazing group that made Seasoned Romance a sub-genre and reader favorite. In the fall of 2018, under the pen name M. Jayne, the world was introduced to the Novus Pack. See Me is an Amazon bestseller and was a finalist for the prestigious Holt Medallion. The Novus Pack Series has grown to six books and the Novus Pack World Series which explores the members of the Pack currently has 4 books and over the summer 4 more will be added. M.J. Claims that she has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. Her grandparents were journalists and instead of playing Barbies, they made up stories. She decided to attempt to write her first book after the author, Mari Carr, told her that she could tell a good story. She lives on a grain farm in central Indiana with her long-suffering husband and bossy mastiff, Duncan Keith. When she isn’t writing, she is watching trashy TV and loves to discuss the Housewives and Love and Hip Hop. She believes that if she were thirty years younger that she would be working for TMZ. No author achieves success without a team. M.J. is thankful for the many authors who have shared advice over the years and to The Manny (the world’s best assistant) who keeps her on schedule and reasonably sane.
