About Melissa

MELISSA ZILINSKAS is a Catholic homemaker and native Kentuckian. A lifelong fan of ghost stories, she was compelled to write one of her own after her cursed home began offering a steady stream of inspiration. UNWELCOME is her debut novel. Melissa also writes young adult and middle-grade fiction. When not reading or writing, she enjoys hiking, watching baseball, exploring old cemeteries, visiting coffee shops with her husband, and correcting other people’s grammar. She lives near a spooky forest in Louisville.
