Melissa and Aimee met at Book Club, which over the years devolved into Eating Club, and then, well completely disappeared, but they maintained their friendship and toyed with the idea of writing together. While working on some ideas Melissa and Aimee hit upon the concept for "Happily Ever Before" and when Aimee suggested that it might make a great book, Melissa gamely went along and the rest as they say is history.

Melissa currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and son. Aimee currently resides in Los Angeles with her couch and DVR.
