MEL FOSTER was diagnosed with ADD and NVLD (non verbal language disorder) at a young age. Because of her difficulty verbally expressing herself, she found solace in writing. Through her writing she was able to express herself in a way she never knew possible. From the age of eleven, she began filling notebooks with her stories, and at only seventeen, Foster submitted her first manuscript to a publisher. Receiving positive encouragement to keep writing, she decided to work diligently toward her dream of becoming a published writer.Though expressing herself verbally became easier with time, her writing continued to be both an escape and her passion. Now, she considers storytelling her superpower.Her debut novel, Falling From Grace is her first published work, but Foster is already a prolific writer having written twenty novels by age twenty-three.
