Author: Melissa Cynova

Melissa Cynova is an award-winning author and tarot reader from St. Louis, MO. She spends her days writing around four black cats, two dogs, and a tortoise named Phil. When she's not working, you'll find her hanging out with her husband and two kiddos, completing ridiculous jigsaw puzzles, and trying to figure out how S.H.I.E.L.D. got the tesseract from the Ice Demons.
