Author Bio

Mel A. Rowe is a bestselling Australian author who creates romantic escapes for readers who crave emotionally rich stories filled with heart, hope, and hard-won happily ever afters.

Known for taking ordinary characters on extraordinary journeys, Mel’s stories travel from remote outback towns to quiet streets tinged with magic and myth—blending banter, found-family drama, and twists that linger long after the final page.

Based in Australia’s Northern Territory, Mel enjoys spontaneous outback road trips, fumbling with her camera, annoying her family with her bad singing, and making new friends in the middle of nowhere—except for water buffaloes. She’s been chased by a few.
