A place for that brief reading escape.
Hey there, I’m Mel A ROWE.
For this site, I create short pieces that alternate from flash fiction, short-short stories, and poetry.
In ALL genres.
As an introvert, this site started my publishing journey by becoming my pallet-cleanser as a way to explore other avenues of writing. Through this exploration, I’ve been granted a few awards for my poetry and flash fiction and can be found in various international literary publications.
Oh, and I became #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR in the US and Australia on my first anniversary as a published author. And sometimes I’ll blog too.
So, yeah, I kinda like to write… stuff!
What is R&R Ramblings?
It stands for Rural Romantic Ramblings:
(R) = Rural:
I hide in a place where most Australians consider a remote, rural location known as the Northern Territory’s Top End. It’s where many locals claim we’re surrounded by more cattle and crocodiles than people!
(R) = Romantic:
The dictionary says, “…someone who is idealistic but impractical. Passionate and imaginative, rather than having order and form.”
Yep, pick me! My novels are delivered with a dash of drama, witty humour, quirky characters, and fun family units. I’m known for reinventing romantic versions of home, taking my common characters on uncommon journeys that lead from boardrooms to billabongs as they try to find their own Escape to HAPPILY EVER AFTER. (#Escape2HEA)
(R) Ramblings:
Again, the dictionary states, “…it is to wander without a definite route…”
As a wanderer in not only words but on weekends I explore my unique backyard on random road trips, fumbling with my camera, while I annoy the family with my atrocious singing from my updated playlists. (Seriously, I’m really that bad!)
Anyway, this site is for that quick read, and read purely for entertainment. Pleeeeeese DON’T BE TOO PICKY on my grammar, I’m only doing this for fun. And honestly, it’s my fingertips that tap-dance across the keyboard following my imagination to produce the story of the moment.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I thank you for the follow (I hope) so that we may meet again.
Happy reading,
Just read your Steer Clear story (chuckles every time) and couldn’t locate the comment box, so here I am to say “Awesome!” and what a fun lark.

Thanks Daniel, appreciate the input for my comments area…I’ll admit, Steer Clear is a major crack-up moment when writing it. Cheers for the read, comments & follow. Mel.
