Brief Author Bio: You have found Melissa Oyler, age 30, graphic designer and Chief Creative Officer of Melissa Oyler Designs, LLC. I am a book designer, a magazine designer, a business identity designer and a wedding designer. My days are never boring. www.melissaoyler.com. Graphic design is my calling and I get to do what I love every day and make a living off of it. It’s an amazing life! I am a poet, an organizer and a clean freak. I can be an exercise nut, and I try to eat healthy when I’m not being tempted by chocolate or cheese. I am addicted to coffee. I like tattoos (have 3!) and piercings. I like to travel (Have laptop; can work anywhere.) I love my dogs (mutts) and I love going out dancing and partying with friends — just because I’m married doesn’t mean I’m kept on a short leash! (People like to see a ring on my finger and ask how come my husband “let” me out of the house … Good thing I don’t have a husband like that!) |

Synopsis: Diamonds, Lies, and Alibis
Girl meets boy, falls in love. Fairy tale ending in sight for Kylie and Austin, until … two months before the wedding, Matthew comes into picture and knocks Kylie off her feet. Now what to do? With the “finish line” being the vows - now looming like a prison sentence instead of being all of her dreams come true, Kylie must choose. Good thing she has her best friends, Lee and Erykah, to help her decide.
Excerpt: Diamonds, Lies, and Alibis
The two sat in silence for several moments, enjoying each other’s company and speaking without words. They always had this way of feeling the other’s presence and moods, and tonight was no exception: Ryan was content, Erykah decided. And in that moment, she was too.
“What have you got going on this weekend?” Ryan asked.
“Kylie’s bridal shower,” Erykah said. “We’re at the 2-month point! Thank God.”
“Two months before the wedding? Already?” Ryan asked. “How is she holding up?”
“Well, every day there is a new emergency,” Erykah said. “This week it was the shade of pink of the bridesmaids dresses coming in incorrectly, last week it was the inscription on the rings, next week … who knows … Just glad it’s almost over.”
“Almost over,” Ryan said. “Interesting way to describe something typically considered a new beginning.”
