Melissa Delport is an award-winning author, copywriter, and lover of the written word.

For ten years Melissa owned and operated her own specialized logistics company until she woke up one morning and decided that it was time to put her English degree to good use. She was offered a three-book deal for The Legacy Trilogy and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, her speculative fiction has been published in both SA and the USA.

Melissa lives in Hillcrest with her husband and three teenagers, none of whom take her seriously.

She also writes romantic suspense as Lissa Del and contemporary romance as Rachel Rhodes.
