Melanie Leeder is an emerging author of historical fiction.

She lives on the coast with her husband, three children, and two cats. Her family is somewhat nomadic, having moved around the country and overseas.

With a Speech and Language Therapy degree, Melanie has always been fascinated with psychology and human behaviour.

She mixes this with her love of history, art, and architecture to create novels filled with gripping storylines, beautiful imagery, and complex characters. Reticence is her first novel.
