Melinda R. Cordell
author : Melinda R. CordellHello hello! I'm Melinda R. Cordell. I'm an indie author, writing noblebright fantasy novels with dragons, or raccoons, or owls, and a bunch of gardening books. Find me at melindacordell.com\n\nI'm a former horticulturist who was the municipal horticulturist for the St. Joseph Parks and Rec Department. Now I'm a proofreader with a trick back and I am very, very grateful for air conditioning. I have written 12 books for the Easy-Growing Gardening series, which covers vegetable gardening, roses, tomatoes, perennials, houseplants, month-by-month gardening, lawns, Japanese beetles, soil-building, and much more.\n\nI graduated from Hamline University with an MFAC for writing for children, and I write YA novels set in the midwest with tornadoes, raccoons, cool families, and teens who face powerful emotional challenges. I've been sending out novels since 1995 but went full indie in 2016. My first year I published 15 books -- I had a lot of polished novels I wanted to get out into the world! I'm looking to do the same this year. It's going to be a great ride. I'm loving every minute of it.\n\n\n\n View more >>Melinda R. Cordell Book Series
