In 2009, Melanie Zuben made a lifestyle changing decision by quitting her stressful job at a Melbourne art gallery. She had two choices left: either end up a kamikaze alcoholic on her way to total self-destruction or re-invent herself and follow her dreams, come what may. One sunny morning, she had found herself suddenly FREE to paint her long overdue masterpieces and FREE to devote her time to her other passion: writing. She's the author of: The Gresham Symphony, married and lives in Melbourne, Australia.
