Hey! G'DAY! Hello! Hi!
Australian Author. Longtime Romance Reader. Here to Bring You Curvy Heroines, Small Towns, and Big Feels.
I’m Melanie Hepburn, a small town romance author with a passion for writing about relatable, curvy heroines, rugged heroes, and love stories that’ll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe blush just a little. Or maybe a lot. I make no promises.
I'm a life-long romance reader and it's a rare day where I'm not nose deep in a book at some point. If I'm not, it's probably because I'm writing one of my own stories! My stories are the ones I've always wanted to read (more so as I get older). The heroines have hips, sass and ass. The heroes love them all the more for it. Just the way it should be.
Visit small towns with big personalities, where love is as inevitable as a diner waitress with attitude.
When I’m not busy getting my characters into trouble (or happily-ever-afters), you can find me snuggled up with my latest fictional crush, my rescued greyhound, and a glass of wine. I might even be knitting at the same time! So, grab a cozy blanket, pour yourself something delicious, and dive in.
I promise, the only thing more swoon-worthy than my heroes are the love stories waiting for you.
