I’m Mel Odom. A lot of readers have wanted to know more about me, more about the work I’ve done, and more about the work I’ve got coming out. I’ll try to answer all those questions.

Those of you who have read my work for a few years have noticed that I tend to have varied interests in my fiction. I write in a number of fields, but always with the hope of telling an interesting tale that will incite a reader to think for himself or herself, to examine his or her own place in the world, and offer a little nudge in the direction of dreams, faith, and personal growth in spite of whatever odds a person has to face.

I also believe we were all put here for a purpose. Hopefully, several purposes. I’m a father, a teacher, a friend, and a writer. I struggle to keep that balance, as many of us do these days, but I hold tightly to the belief that I’m doing all I can be doing, and doing what I should be doing.

Thanks for stopping by!
