Melissa Foster wears a lot of hats.  She is an award winning author, the owner of World Literary Cafe, a consultant to writers, a wife, a mother and many other things too numerous to mention.

But one of her top jobs is being a friend to writers everywhere.  She is selfless with her support and always ready and willing to advocate for her fellow writers.

Recently her book, Come Back To Me, was nominated as one of  The Top Five Finalists for the Best Indie Book of 2012 in the literary fiction genre.

I bought Come Back To Me on my Kindle during the holiday season 2011 and read it over the Christmas break.  It is a story of the enduring power of love, the searing pain of loss, halting steps forward out of terrible times.

Here are some of the things reviewers have said the book:
