Melinda Salisbury is an author who lives on the southeast coast of the UK, though she grew up in the country. She says, "It was always a dream to live by the sea, and it's everything I hoped it would be." She writes full time, a mixture of young adult fantasy novels and almanacs for city-based people. She writes for people who desperately want to forge a connection with nature, but live in cities, or flatshares, and don't have easy access to outdoor space. The almanacs help people build a realistic and sustainable connection with nature, without traveling out of town or spending loads of money.
