She never gave up, despite being rejected a lot. At first, she wrote romance, but then decided to write thriller novels. The first book she uploaded to a writing site, and tried as hard as she could to get it to the top of the site; she would spend all day every day, promoting her book on the site (this got her a gold star from the site she uploaded the book to). It also got a positive review from Harper Collins, although they did not sign her so they could publish her book. She was able to sell enough books, with the help of Smashwords and Amazon, to sell enough books so that she could pay her mother back; she was the one that was supporting Mel through her honing her writing ability. Her first book got published in the year 2011, which was the first novel in the “Lorne Simpkins” series, called “Cruel Justice”.
Comley has written the “Deception” series, “DI Sally Parker” series, the “Intention” series, the “Hero” series, and the “Lorne Simpkins” series. Her work is from the genres of women’s fiction, Mystery, thriller, and romance.
