With a background in theatre, film and television, Melonie is a screenwriter, radio play author,  journalist, reporter and 

all-round "pen for hire."  Her radio drama "H20" is available at the Public Radio Exchange (www.prx.org), the California Water Impact Network (www.c-win.org) and on this website. In 2008, she was recognized by the California Newspaper Publishers Association for her breaking news reporting with The Malibu Times on the devastating wildfires of the previous fall. 

Melonie has written for a number of Los Angeles area newspapers and is a regular contributor to southland style magazines. Having directed a theatre company in France (Brava Productions), she learned to handle all aspects of promotion, from copywriting for ads to creative ways to "pull in" new customers. Brava Productions' short film "The Chewing Gum & Mrs. Andrews" was recognized at the Hawaii International Film Festival as best comedic short film. 

But her most accomplished productions are three beautiful children - Tiffany, Chantilly and Dutch.

Melonie recently sold her first screenplay, which is going into production shortly in France.

Keyboard innovator Kit Walker thrives on new musical horizons. Although he was in his early years classically trained as a pianist, pipe organist, and composer, Kit wasn’t content to stop there. His musical and spiritual explorations have taken him through a universe of styles and sounds, and he spent many years working with and developing his own personal slant on each of them. His groundbreaking albums for Windham Hill Jazz, “Dancing on the Edge of the World”, and “Fire in the Lake”, released in the late 80’s, helped to broaden the spectrum of contemporary jazz.
