Melissa Algood’s calling is to be a writer, but she does it so well, she’s also a good authorpreneur (author + entrepreneur —get it? 😬). In other words, Mel crafts her stories in a way that is pleasing to hardcore readers AND marketable for mainstream. Which such a talent, we enjoyed discussing her spy novel, “Gone” (Book 2 of The Greater Good Series), how she’s coping as a hair stylist and author during this pandemic, her greatest writing influences, her favorite character muses, how she decides which sex and violent scenes will be written on and off the page (fade to black), her true-crime obsession, and challenges with writing Spanish-speaking characters. Listen until the end for a reading from her novel. Also, check out Mel’s books, and be ready for her next release coming May 10th.
