In episode 8 of Shelf-Employed, Lee and Cody speak to Andre and Melissa Hattingh, the creative duo behind Love andShadows and Shadow of Ruin, the first two books in The Donare Series.

Their journey as storytellers is shaped by rich life experiences—Melissa’s childhood in South Africa, where she crafted stories inspired by nature, and Andre’s adventures as a pilot. Their paths merged, leading them to Australia, where their love for the art of storytelling flourished. Together, they weave tales of romance, fantasy, and mystery, drawing from their personal experiences to create narratives that resonate deeply with readers.'
