We are pleased to announce that Melinda Clayton has joined the staff of Indies Unlimited as a contributing author.
Melinda is the author of Appalachian Justice, Return to Crutcher Mountain, Entangled Thorns, and Blessed Are the Wholly Broken, as well as her nonfiction book, Self-publishing Made Simple: A How-to Guide for the Non-tech-savvy Among Us.
In addition to writing, Melinda has an Ed.D. in Special Education Administration and is a licensed psychotherapist in the states of Florida and Colorado. Her vast experience working in the field of mental health gives her a unique perspective on human behaviors, and she likes to explore this dynamic in her writing.
Her books have impressed critics and readers alike, and her winning personality, quick wit, and snarky sense of humor make her a great fit for us. Also, we need to get those minion psych evals going as quickly as possible. Please welcome Melinda to the IU family.
congratulations!
Thank you! I’m excited to be a part of Indies Unlimited, because I’ve been such a fan!
Welcome aboard. 🙂
Thanks, Yvonne! I’m so happy to join y’all!
Glad to have you here, Melinda. 🙂
Thank you! And I’m glad to be here. I’m not exaggerating when I say IU helped me in my transition to self-pubbed author. Tons of answers in one great place.
Thrilled to have you here, Melinda.
Thanks, Al! It’s always nice to see you, whether on Facebook, Amazon, BigAl’s, or here. 🙂
Congratulations, Melinda. 🙂 As the mother of a special-needs child, I have great respect for those who work in Special Ed. Thank you for all the children you help.
Thank you, Nicole. 🙂 I no longer work directly with clients, because I’m giving this writing thing a chance, but as I acknowledge in all my work, it’s my clients who have inspired me to do everything I do. Their bravery and courage spur me on.
Welcome, Melinda! Uh, I’d avoid using the “special” gruel bowl. 😉
LOL, thanks, Lynne! Duly noted. 🙂
Welcome aboard! Glad to have someone coming in behind me so I’m not the newbie anymore!
Thanks, Melissa!
Welcome, Melinda! You’re welcome to my share of the gruel. Not that I don’t love it, of course…. 😉
Oh, I could never take your gruel! Really. I couldn’t. 😉
Oh… are you sure? Just a little?
Congrats! I loved Appalachian Justice.
Thank you, Donna! Both for the welcome and the compliment. 🙂
Welcome aboard, Melinda! The gruel will taste even better with added snark! 🙂
Congrats. Melinda! And Congrats to IU for being perceptive enough to hire her.
Thank you, Marilyn! You’re too kind!
Welcome to this great group, Melinda!
The more “maniacs” the better……
Thanks, Ronee!
Congratulations and welcome Melinda.
What Kathryn said. 😉
Thank you guys! I love being here. 🙂
Welcome aboard, Melinda, and congratulations.
Thank you so much!
Welcome new Minion!
LOL, thank you! And is it odd, that I’m proud to be a minion? 🙂
