Author and filmmaker Sammi Leigh Melville, based in Harrisburg, wears multiple hats in the creative sphere. Not only is she the talent behind two novels, but she also contributes film reviews to TheBurg while serving as an event coordinator for Vidjam, dedicated to nurturing filmmaking in Central Pennsylvania. Melville's latest literary venture, "Tween," delves into the complex theme of mortality through the story of siblings Don and Cherry, who grapple with the aftermath of death. Cherry's struggle to come to terms with her brother's passing contrasts with Don's journey as he navigates the ambiguous space between life and death. Through "Tween," Melville offers readers a poignant exploration of grief and the existential questions surrounding mortality.
