A magical practitioner for over 35 years, Melissa has written numerous articles on the history of modern witchcraft, and the Golden Dawn. She runs the Gardnerian Witchcraft history website thewica.co.uk and is one of the key people behind Liminal Gate Press.
As a literary necromancer she loves chasing a story through history. Her last book, the definitive 'Here Be Magick' looked at the mysterious Coven of Atho and we hear that another historical occult first will be published later this year. She has an interest in the psychology of magic and wants to live long enough to see aliens land or a zombie apocalypse.
