Melanie Middien

As a child, Melanie Middien always loved animals and drawing. She would share her art with teachers for extra credit. During her senior year, she pitched the K.C. Royals a mascot, LeRoy, King of the Jungle, who had a baseball glove-like paw and crown which were modified into the lovable Sluggerrr. She came out to LA and worked in advertising, then on TV shows such as King of The Hill, and on a couple of other TV shows too embarrassing to list. She lives in one of the dumpiest, yet happiest homes, in Utopia, California, with her two teenage sons, who think their mother's writing is silly and overall, find her embarrassing. She does not care. She loves traveling across the country in an old RV, meeting new friends, drinking wine, dancing (which may be one of the reasons her sons find her embarrassing), and making campfire pizzas, which her sons DO like.She has volunteered as a foster parent to dozens of dogs and cats at the SPCA and other animal shelters. It is only because her child has allergies that her home is not currently brimming with animals.
