Melanie Roussel Fiction

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where fiction, history, psychology and an unhealthy number of hypothetical questions collide.

​

I'm Melanie, a neurodivergent fiction writer with a fascination for the strangem wonderfully and messy business of being human.

​

I write stories, overanalyse fictional characters, question established narratives and disappear down every rabbit holes I can find. I'm particularly interested in what makes people tick, why certain stories stay with us, and the curious mechanics of storytelling itself.

​

Here you'll find my fiction, thoughts on storytelling, and assorted explorations of the ideas, people and peculiarities that capture my imagination.

​

Consider yourself warned: there will be tangents.​
