Melanie Miro lived near the town of Laurel, Maryland, for thirteen years until she realized that the many portals to Hell located around the Washington, DC area were not good for her family's health. She now hails from Sarasota, Florida, where she relocated with her one husband, two children, and three cats. There have been no sightings of portals in or around Southwest Florida, and the only paranormal occurrence is the amazing amount of lizards that manage to enter their home.
