Women and Fiction returns with Season 2 of our podcast.

We begin the season with Melissa Westemeire. Melissa's first book, Whipped, Not Beaten, is what she calls "chick lit" and was published by Cornerstone Press.  By the time the book came out, Melissa had finished her second book. After lunch with a friend, she decided to publish her second book, Kick like a Girl, also "chick lit", herself. Her third book, Across the River, is a more serious look at change in a small town. It is published by Bridle Path Press.  

Melissa represents a new kind of author. One who is unhindered by her publisher or strict rules about staying in her genre. 

Melissa is a mother, a wife, a full-time high school teacher, who fits writing in to her life.

Melissa Westemeier joins Women and Fiction for the first Episode of Season 2.
