More About the Author

Melinda Metz grew up in San Jose, California. People sometimes ask if she knows the way there. She kinda does, but she has an off-kilter sense of direction, so to be confident of arriving, it's better to consult some kind of navigational device.

Her mother tried to teach her to read in kindergarten, but Melinda had no interest. She also had no interest in learning to write her name. (FYI, when Melinda was in kindergarten it was all about finger-painting, play time, and naps.) Eventually, she mastered both and even majored in English at San Jose State University.

After college, Melinda moved to Manhattan to seek her fortune, which involved learning to identify fruits and vegetables while working at a grocery store,
making $2.73 working backstage for an off-off Broadway play (her part of the box-office profits), and editing books.

Melinda and the lovely and talented Laura J. Burns pretty much became unofficial writing partners when they were editors at the same company. They teamed up to brainstorm story ideas, and at some point their brains fused in some key places. Later they worked on the Roswell High book series, Laura developing and editing the series, Melinda writing.

That series led to Melinda and Laura, now an official writing team, writing two TV pilots, moving to L.A. to work on the Roswell TV show, and briefly living in Toronto while on the writing staff of 1-800-Missing. They both continue to write books, together and separately.

Melinda has never regretted learning to read and write her name.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this series!, July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Stowaway (Roswell High No. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

And since there's not a good explaination about this book here it is: MICHAEL: He's still having flashbacks of his escape from the underground compound. Only Cameron, the mysterious girl he met behind bars, seems to understand him-and understand that the sheriff may be gone but an even more dangerous enemy is out there....

CAMERON: She fell for Michael in the compound... while spying on him for Sheriff Valenti. Now she feels guilty, and wishes she could tell him the truth. But how can she be honest-without losing Michael? It looks like a good book!

Something is controlling Adam - using his body. "Ray took something that didn't belong to him. I have to get it back," the controlled-by-something-evil Adam responds when Adam's friends tell him that something's wrong with him. Soon Adam isn't the only one controlled by Whoever. Isabel is hurting people that she would never hurt if she was in control of herself. Max, Liz, Maria, Michael, Cammeron and Alex have to figure this out, pronto. Or else . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Roswell.....Book 6 As Good As Others, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Stowaway (Roswell High No. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Stowaway was as good as the rest of the Roswell books, ifnot better. When Adam and Isabel are taken over by some sort of evilit's up to Liz, Max, Michael, Maria, and Alex. When they find out that Elsevan DuPris is the evil force, they decide that they HAVE to get rid of him. With page-turning suspense this book is one of the best in the series
