Melanie Forde is a veteran writer, ghosting in diverse formats--from academic white papers to advertising copy. Under her own name, she has published numerous features and commentaries about the natural world. Fond of parsing the mysteries of Mother Nature, the former city girl has undertaken such foolhardy challenges as turning flax seed into linen over the course of many labor-intense months. Never again.
After many years of llama farming in both VA and WV, she currently shares her acreage with two dogs, one cat and one husband.
