Melissa Black is a native of the Coastal Bend and is married to her partner in crime, Chris. Together they wrangle two (mostly) great kids, Evan and Tristan. Mel has always been an writer- and has fantasies of joining a girl gang- so in the summer of 2019 she decided to join the clever band of women you know as CCMB. When she’s not busy working as a stylist or being a domestic overlord she likes listening to audiobooks AND rock’n’roll , going for runs and watching movies in 20 minute increments.
