THE AUTHOR

Meet Melvin
Hardin

Born and raised in Battle Creek, MI. I am the middle child of five without any brothers or a father in my rearview. Dreams of becoming a professional writer stem from my youth.

I was creatively inspired to write this novel out of my imaginary threads, which were woven together to produce a product of interesting tapestry that would satisfy the emotional, suspenseful and highbrow thirst of my readers. Out of my writings are the expressions and imprints of pain, hope, love, consequence and conflict.

I do not target my readers from a high place in thought, but rather from a complex dais of emotional velocity. My joy is servicing my readers with real life possibilities, unexpected encounters and passionate involvement.

Writing is not just an alternative way of communicating but a more proficient means of bringing to light stories that hide in the dark.

THE MOVIE

“An electrifying experience.”

Behind Four Walls was an electrifying experience that provided an unexpected range of emotions and a whimsical journey. It reads literally as a sequence of photographs projected on the pages with sufficient rapidity as to create the illusion of motion and continuity.
