So, Melanie, I was wondering. Do the names of your characters have special meanings? Like in some of my short stories, each character's name has a special meaning. Do you do that or do you just go with the flow?
Melanie Dickerson
Hi, Mary! Very often, more often than not, the names I choose for my characters are very intentional and do have special meaning. But then, sometimes I choose names that just feel right for the character. So, a little bit of both, I would say!

Hi Melanie, I finished The Silent Songbird and completely loved it. I do wonder, are the Le Wyse family and the Gerstenberg family connected somehow that I missed? Also a great opportunity has arisen for me about publishing my novel and I am super excited as I head into the second draft. And I am also super excited about your Aladdin retelling and Mulan retelling.

Hi Melanie! I love your books and am very excited about the next one. Princess and the Pea has always been one of my favorites! I am curious about your research to write a story, and why did you pick the medieval period to set your stories in? Thank you for such wonderful stories to love, and best of luck in all your future endeavors!

I think I may have already asked this but would you ever consider writing a story based on Anastasia Romanov?
