Kassen, Melanie

Melanie Kassen has spent the last twenty years in the healing arts profession; however, she has written in one form or another since she was twelve years old. Although she never set out to create a children's story, Kassen's book Bruce and Juliet: The Unlikely Friendship of a Bubble Breathing Dragon and a Daydreaming Kitten came about when she was inspired by two plush toys. In one night of frantic outlining, she diligently completed the story of Bruce and Juliet, and roughly eighteen months later the final incarnation was complete.
