Calloway, Melanie: - Melanie Calloway is a writer who embraces storytelling not only as an art form but as a form of therapy. She recalls sitting wide-eyed and childlike listening to hours of her Aunt's hauntingly personal tales of love, loss, and horrible men and her father's exploits on the road as a jazz musician. Melanie is an award-winning, best-selling author who believes in speaking things into existence. A sucker for movies that make you go hmm long after the lights turn on, she and her husband of forty years either catch independent films in Ballantyne or take advantage of five-dollar Tuesday at Redstone Theaters. When she isn't reading biographies and memoirs, she's helping to write them.
