Welcome to the world of romance. Author Melissa LaShure writes steamy, adventure packed, inspirational historical Christian romance novels that feature cowboys taming the wild west and rescuing damsels in distress. She likes to say she’s packing the heat and riding the line.

Melissa’s writing adventure into the romance genre all started with a book club at her local library. They read an 1800s wild west cowboy romance that had her hooked and hog-tied. After devouring all the available books in this genre at the library, she quickly recognized their scarcity. By scarce she means there’s very few historical Christian romance novels set in the wild west that possess the passion and romance depicted in Song of Solomon. So, she wrote my own.

Melissa likes to think of her books as bridging the gap between your typical Christian romance and secular romance. She loves the passion found in secular romances, but as a believer, she is not comfortable with the bedroom scenes. So, Melissa writes books that are packed with passion but leave the bedroom door shut with the goal of pointing readers to Christ.

Outside of being an author, Melissa currently works in education as a curriculum director for an amazing school corporation. In addition to that, she hosts the LiteraryScape and Educational Awareness podcasts.

When she’s not working, writing, or podcasting, you can find her hanging with her husband or reading a book. Of course, she is always up for exploring new places and enjoying great coffee!
