Charlene Stiletto and Her Search for a Fabulous Pair of Shoes
Melanie was born in Derby, England and moved to Canada with her family when she was six years old. Her creativity sparked from a very young age through arts and crafts, drawing, painting, and sewing. Twelve-year-old Melanie showed the stories she had written to the writer-in-residence at the local library, hoping it would start her career of being a children's book author. At nineteen, Melanie studied fashion and costume design in Toronto. This led to an exciting career that has spanned more than twenty years, throughout which she drafted patterns and built costumes for theatre and dance. Charlene Stiletto and Her Search for a Fabulous Pair of Shoes is Melanie's first book. Melanie continues to work on other character driven short stories, including further adventures of Charlene Stiletto. Melanie loves the Canadian outdoors, vacationing in Jamaica, sharing laughter, and creating memories with her family. She lives in a picturesque story-book town with her guinea pigs and her evil sidekick (and sole-mate), Nick. www.melaniefarrar.ca @melaniefarrar.author
