Melissa L. Cook spent twenty years living in remote Alaska—an experience that inspired her award-winning, bestselling memoir, The Call of the Last Frontier: The True Story of a Woman's Twenty-Year Alaska Adventure, a #1 Top-Rated book on Amazon, and the rugged world of her fiction.
 

She now draws on those years to create the fictional community of Tea Creek, where Alaska isn’t just the setting—it’s part of the story.
