Author Biography
Melissa J. Taylor has been writing books since she first learned how to hold a pencil the wrong way. (Her aunt, a teacher, had to bribe her to learn the other way.) Her first book went something like this: Mom. Tom. Tom Mom. Mom Tom. No one knew any Tom, and perhaps that's why the book was a miserable failure. After all, you're supposed to write what you know. Hopefully learning from her mistakes, she started this book during a writing course, basing many of the stories on childhood experiences. And the only Toms in it are turkeys.
