Melissa Bigelow is a resident of Mashpee, MA. She is a native Cape Codder, born at Cape Cod Hospital and raised in Yarmouth. She worked in banking and finance for twelve years, ten of which were spent at a local mutual savings bank and the last two at a national financial services firm. She is currently the owner of Seagull Treasure Chest, an online antique book store. The business, which she operates out of her home in Mashpee, is in memory of her late father, Tom Hague’s, brick and mortar antique store of the same name, which he operated during the 1970s in West Harwich.
Her life’s greatest accomplishment is her thirteen-year old daughter, Sophia, a frequent high honors student who plays soccer for the Monomoy Regional School District.
A lifelong writer, Melissa’s dream as a child was to become an author. This is her third book and the sixth in a series published by Henry M. Quinlan, the owner and publisher of Omni Publishing Company.
