M.E. Welman
Once upon a time I went to school to craft my writing skills, but I wanted a little more from my expensive education than 'just writing classes' so I have an MA from New York University. They liked what I did and even gave me the Herbert Rubin Creative Writing Award when I was an undergrad there. The story that garnered that award, Carmen Jane Doesn’t Work at the A&P was then published in the Gallatin Review.
Since then, I got married, raised two sons, taught private school (have I got stories), founded a non-profit (now closed) and wrote.
This is where I am now, here, writing and selling my work. Thanks for reading.

For me writing equals breathing. They are more synonyms than any other synonym words. I write non-stop since I was fifteen when I was still in high school. Back then, sometimes I just wrote, others I wrote and painted. But writing... oh writing...
As an avid writer, but also avid reader, I loooove books, all shapes and sizes, because they have given me so much throughout my life. All kinds.
Today I do it all.
I remember engraving certain stories in my mind, certain that one day I would write them. Because there are stories that just need to be told.

I’ve been a writer for most of my life, including my early years as an actress when I wrote freelance articles on the side. Like my protagonist, Kate Sachs, I know what it’s like to be a struggling actress, having appeared on stage and in dozens of soap operas and movies as an extra. We’re both pretty good shots with a handgun too.
Unlike Kate, I never landed a starring role on television, so I opted for an MBA instead and started a consulting firm that specialized in commercial writing and training with a theatrical flair for Wall Street. But that gypsy in my soul, as a friend calls my creative muse, was only in hiding. She popped out one day and refused to leave me alone. Deadly Play is the result of ... read more
