Biography
While two-day hangovers have taken the place of 2 a.m. happy hours, Mel still raves about all that is Cleveland nightlife and entertainment. Sales of Panini sandwiches have declined in a personal effort to not live up to the award for Best Barfly, but she will keep a bar stool warm for any Cleveland sports fan.
During her Caribou Coffee-induced insomniatic episodes, she ponders over whether to continue her bright career in the real estate industry to that “wanting to be a writer thing.” Between paychecks and book ideas, she finds time to finish her journalism and promotional communication degree.
Her writing interests include: reality shows of the “guilty pleasure” genre, horoscope warnings of Mercury in retrograde, the diversion of LGBT entertainment, classical music by Carl Orff remixed into a kick-ass techno song, participating in holidays that require more drinking than family, any film by Mel Brooks or with Gene Wilder (preferably both), poking fun at the Missed Connections folks on Craigslist, discovering Michael McDonald’s star in St. Louis’ Walk of Fame, snow angels, freshy-fresh doughnuts in Little Italy and reminding people that maple syrup belongs in a cupboard and not the fridge.
Mel bounces back-and-forth between suburban neighborhoods on either side of the Cuyahoga. She promises she did not set the river on fire.
