Melissa Brown

I am a writer and stay-at-home Mom living in the Chicago suburbs with my husband and two young children. I love books---everything about them. I love reading them, being surrounded by them in bookstores and libraries, and most recently, writing some of my own.

I also love to bake. Cake truffles, cupcakes, homemade fudge and bark, cookies and whoopie pies are some of my favorites to make. I enjoy making creative gifts for friends, family and my kids' teachers. I'm excited to share my baking adventures with you.

And finally, I must admit, I am wild for actor Henry Cavill. He makes me swoon like no other celebrity can. I love reading his interviews and admiring him in photos. I can't wait for Man of Steel to open on my birthday next summer!
