“What is profound about Melissa’s books is that because of her personal connection with the storylines, the things that have happened in her life, she can actually tackle complexities of missing people. She can show us what it’s like to feel hopeful, and also despair and what it’s like to feel hopelessness.” – Debbie Platz, AFP Assistant Commissioner

“Every now and then a writer comes along whose words raise the hair on the back of your neck, not because they’re scary but because the words so perfectly describe the scene, you’re inescapably right in there seeing what the characters are seeing and feeling exactly what they’re feeling.” – Annabelle Brayley, Australian author of Bush Doctors & Vietnam Nurses

Readers say: ‘I’m up in Darwin for a conference and I brought your 2nd novel FIND ME with me to read… Except that I finished it before I even got off the flight!! I couldn’t put it down! I love Rhiannon… Even had to hide the tears on the plane in some bits. I loved it, soooo good. Can’t wait to read the next one now (except I left it at home!)’ – Natalie Godward

AFP Missing Persons

The Australian Federal Police endorse Melissa’s fiction writing work for its role in raising awareness for the missing.

“What is profound about Melissa’s books is that because of her personal connection with the storylines, the things that have happened in her life, she can actually tackle complexities of missing people. She can show us what it’s like to feel hopeful, and also despair and what it’s like to feel hopelessness. Melissa is also an advocate for missing persons, an Ambassador for Daniel Morcombe Foundation, and by what I can see tonight here with her family and friends, she is really well respected and loved by everybody who comes across her. I know for a fact that the people at the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre are deeply indebted to Melissa for the work she has done, and love spending time with her.” – Debbie Platz, AFP Assistant Commissioner

“Melissa’s books are the best form of getting in touch with people who are suffering ambiguous loss. I’m a trained counsellor and the best form of counselling for families of missing persons is via other families in a like situation. Our role with the AFP is to support families of missing people, and we met Melissa a couple of years ago when she released her first novel, Write About Me. The AFP is very happy to support Melissa and her books.”- Former AFP National Missing Persons Coordination Centre team leader Rebecca Kotz
