As an author of books that have advocated for the safety and well-being of children, Melissa has presented local workshops to school children to teach them about stranger safety and to teach them how to deal with bullying, both of which are subjects of her first two books.
Her third book,soon to be released by Crimson Cloak Publishing, is called Scary Ghosts and Playful Ghosts: Children's Tales of Fright and Delight. It is a collection of ghost stories geared for middle school children and teens. The book is divided into three parts. Part one has three somewhat scarier stories (but not too scary). Part two has three stories that involve more mischievous and playful ghosts to delight children and teens. Part three has a researched chapter called, "Are Ghosts Real?". This chapter presents evidence, or lack of evidence, from both believers and non-believers in the possible existence of ghosts.
