She's baaaaaack. You've been warned...

Too long away from her muse, the Mellster returns to babble-overdrive again here in our fair pages, and she is beyond thrilled to be back. Do us a favor, though--don't ask her about that "mental break", OK? Apparently, it wasn't as "mental" as it could have been. Trust us, you'll figure that out soon enough. She's already driving us nuts over here. But in a good way. No, really. And we wouldn't have it any other way...we hope she sticks around a little longer this time.

Melanie's previous writing credits include...Cosmik Debris, where, when we last heard from her, she'd covered the second Cheap Trick Trickfest, and survived an interview with Space Ghost. Since then, not much has been happening--not anything that's fit for print here, anyway. However, she is planning another cross-country move. After 8 years in central Virginia, she's packing up the old life, and heading back to the sunny climes of Orlando, FL, where she hopes to continue her work in the accounting field.

Meanwhile, she says she still has that book in her someplace. Soon as she finds it, we promised we'd let you know. We've asked her to try not to get lost in herself looking for it this time. She really has a rough time when she's all tangled up and falling all over that muse of hers. We're trying to impart our wisdom to her, gleaned from years of experience here (and we should know) that a person should really be careful how they do that when they have trouble doing things like walking and chewing gum at the same time...and one day, she's gonna listen to us...

Should you so desire, she'd be happy to gab with you if you take the time to write her at mellster@cosmik.com.
