She is the daughter of the celebrated Yiddish poet, Josef Hillel Levi. She has ghosted several novels for a well-known writer, has had poems and articles published and has written three more novels.
She has taught English literature, German and French and was a photographic model in her youth. At sixteen she was offered a partial scholarship to RADA but her parents lacked sufficient funds and she began teaching and practised her love of acting at London’s famous Gateway theatre.
Over the past few years Melanie has been fighting a losing battle with macular degeneration, the eye disease for which no cure has as yet been found. So, the novels she had planned to write are awaiting another day as it is impossible for her to cope with modern appliances like computers.
Melanie is the author of Martha’s Book of Song and A Childhood Memoir, both published by Authorhouse.ver menos
