The Melindaville Blog

http://blog.melindaville.com

The Melindaville Blog chronicles my journey of writing and publishing my memoir, “Lost and Found,” which details my experiences as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, as a sex industry worker, as an actor and musician in San Francisco’s punk rock scene of the 1980’s and my fifteen year journey through recovery. I hope to inspire others who suffer from painful early childhood experiences, addiction or other self-destructive tendencies, as well as raise awareness about the need for free and available treatment in our society.

Melinda,
That was a great story you have let us all see and share with you about your addiction. To be honest and open with it is such a huge act of courage. Anytime we open us is a challenge. We are all vulnerable in some way. Some more than others, yet we are all human too. Mistakes in life make us most human. What a great story. I can't wait for your book to come out. Please check out my vlog at www.bestsellingauthortelevision.com. My name is Rey Ybarra and I interview best selling authors. I interviewed mega author Byron Katie who wrote the world wide best seller, "Loving What Is." It is a great book and a very warm and open interview with this dynamic person who herself overcame addictions and now has become a beacon of light to the world. I believe you will do the same!

Sincerely,

Rey Ybarra/Host of Best Selling Author Television.

Wish you all the best to be one who is listed as the best-selling authors, of all times--or at least among the Best-Seller Lists @ New York Times.

This blog has as many special qualities as the woman who writes it!

It's superb.

Melinda transcends and has transformed my expectations of blogs based on personal memoirs. She approaches her subject with clarity, compassion and honesty. Her psychological insights are intelligent and never patronising. Her work is accessible and offers great insights based on some very hard life experiences that she has overcome with courage and determination...She never falls into self-pity or self-indulgent angst. Her outlook is inspiringly positive, passionate and offers profound hope to us all.

A gem of a blog, one of the best of 2008.

A freshness of honesty and blunt writing which will take many of us on a journey much different from our own upbringing. She is convincingly real. I immediately find that I am fascinated to be allowed to walk a path to read of her experiences and her triumphs. Well done!

Author Melinda Roberts Tyler has tackled her personal writing in this blog in a straightforward and courageously honest fashion. She is currently writing her memoir and her blog posts reflect on her tumultuous and transformation journey from actor, musician, sex-industry worker and heroin addict to writer.
