Melissa Palmer is a writer, nerd, baker, part-time kitchen dancer, wife, and full-time mom. She pulls from her experiences with her own daughters -- the two superheroes who shape and guide her life -- to create the world and characters seen in Baking for Dave. When she's not writing, she's biking or running (either on the road or after one of the many animals in her menagerie).
