Melanie Atkinson


Biography

Some of Melanie Atkinson's happiest memories are from the summers she stayed with her grandmother at her home on the cliffs of the Oregon coast. Many of those experiences show up in her writing and still spark her imagination.
When she isn't writing stories (something she realized she loved to do at the age of eight) or dreaming of living near the ocean, she's caring for her four children, sewing dresses from vintage patterns, or playing in Photoshop.
Sea Dweller is the first novel she had the guts to share.

  • The Blue Bottle on Oct. 27, 2012

    The Blue Bottle is a beautifully written fantasy middle grade novel set on the New England coast about a young girl sent to live with her grandparents against her wishes. Once she arrives, she discovers some amazing secrets about the town, her family, and her own unique nature while learning she may be the only person who can save the community from disaster. The coastal setting in “The Blue Bottle” is lovely and richly painted. The characters are engaging and realistic and the story flows easily making for an enjoyable read. The entire plot of the book is beautifully original with sea monsters and creatures described and imagined in an entirely new way. Between the dangerous eels and cheeky mermaids, I was delighted to read something so fresh in comparison to many of the stories on the market right now that seem so similar to each other. Emilie-Noelle Provost knows her craft and has a true gift for writing engaging, original stories with sympathetic, realistic characters. She also has a gift for dispersing age appropriate humor throughout her story as well as immediately pulling the reader in for what promises to be a fun adventure. This is a book I’d definitely recommend and read over and over.
