MéLisa Ryun is our pen name, and we're a husband-wife duo who've been finishing each other's sentences (and steamy scenes) for nearly 30 years. We left the glitz of Hollywood for the glitter of Vegas. Despite calling Sin City home, we say what happens in Vegas should definitely not stay in Vegas-not when it comes to our scorching hot romcoms.We spend our days in a death match of yoga and joke-writing. It's like we're competing in a bizarre reality show where the winner gets to avoid stepping outside into Satan's armpit. We used to write for Hollywood and YouTube. Now we write books and social media posts. It's basically the same thing, except now our audience can read ¿ Maybe we'll trauma dump about our life in LA in a book someday. Or mayb

In high school, I wrote a mess of a science fiction and dystopia. Throughout college, I participated in creative writing courses, and at Penn State, I joined the Creative Writing Club.
I sharpened my skills, found lifelong friends who pushed me to write, and finished my debut novel, “Lithium and Let’s Plays.” Outside of writing prose, I write music, poetry, make art, and work in tech. -
