Oh friends - these days, the good feels seem to have no ends.

Melissa Payne is the bestselling, award-winning author of The Secrets of Lost Stones and Memories in the Drift. For as long as she can remember, Melissa has been telling stories in one form or another—from high school newspaper articles to a graduate thesis to blogging about marriage and motherhood. But she first learned the real importance of storytelling when she worked for a residential and day treatment center for abused and neglected children. There she wrote speeches and letters to raise funds for the children. The truth in those stories was piercing and painful and written to invoke a call to action in the reader: to give, to help, to make a difference.

Melissa Payne is the bestselling, award-winning author of The Secrets of Lost Stones, Memories in the Drift and The Night of Many Endings. She joined me on Uncorking a Story to discuss her career and latest book, A Light in the Forest. Set in the hills of southeastern Ohio, it is a story about resilience and courage in the face of generational trauma. It's also  about finding hope, even in the darkest of times. Key Topics: Why Melissa loved writing in blue books while in college. Why writing a book was always a dream, but initially something she initially dismissed. How meeting another parent at her child's school who had an agent and a manuscript out for submission impacted her decision to write a novel. The surprising role of rejections on the path to publishing. How confidence comes with age and experience.

As a middle child, Melissa Payne was born to tell stories. What started with blaming her brother for breaking the car window evolved to a graduate thesis that she desperately wishes she could rewrite to blogging on motherhood and marriage. Now she likes to create stories set in wild and beautiful places with characters in flawed and imperfect relationships, whether that's between a mother and a daughter, friends or strangers. And imagining all of it with just a hint of the ethereal, a whisper of something beyond what we can see and a sense that it's all for a purpose. Melissa Payne's latest novel, just out this fall, is The Night of Many Endings.

For Melissa Payne, the spark for this book came from a variety of different articles and documentaries that shed light on the relational role of libraries as inclusive, modern-day sanctuaries of more than just books. She learned of a library that accepted all manuscripts submitted to it. She watched a documentary on the opioid epidemic that highlighted a librarian who was trained to use naloxone to save people overdosing. “I heard a powerful quote from a librarian that libraries are perhaps the last place in society where they welcome you, where you don't have to buy or believe anything. So, I wanted to write about a library that faces very real challenges every day, and that brings strangers together. I also wanted to explore how it's easy to make assumptions about people rather than wait and get to know someone.” About the Book: Orphaned at a young age and witness to her brother's decline into addiction, Nora Martinez has every excuse to question the fairness of life. Instead, the openhearted librarian in the small Colorado community sees only promise. She holds on to the hope that she'll be reunited with her missing brother and does what she can at the town library. It's her home away from home, but it's also a sanctuary for others who, like her brother, could use a second chance. There's Marlene, an elderly loner who believes that, apart from her husband, there's little good left in the world; Jasmine, a troubled teen; Lewis, a homeless man with lost hope and one last wish; and Vlado, the security guard who loves a good book. As a winter storm buries Silver Ridge, this collection of lonely hearts takes shelter in the library. They'll discover more about each other, and themselves, than they ever knew—and Nora will be forced to question her brother's disappearance in ways she never could have imagined. No matter how stranded in life they feel, this fateful night could be the new beginning they didn't think was possible.

For Melissa Payne, the spark for this book came from a variety of different articles and documentaries that shed light on the relational role of libraries as inclusive, modern-day sanctuaries of more than just books. She learned of a library that accepted all manuscripts submitted to it. She watched a documentary on the opioid epidemic that highlighted a librarian who was trained to use naloxone to save people overdosing. “I heard a powerful quote from a librarian that libraries are perhaps the last place in society where they welcome you, where you don't have to buy or believe anything. So, I wanted to write about a library that faces very real challenges every day, and that brings strangers together. I also wanted to explore how it's easy to make assumptions about people rather than wait and get to know someone.” About the Book: Orphaned at a young age and witness to her brother's decline into addiction, Nora Martinez has every excuse to question the fairness of life.

The 2020 pandemic has forced international education to change in many ways, including the overnight change from the much-beloved in-person conferences to virtual. In this episode, CJ is joined by CANIE Co-host Evelien Renders, Information Manager in internationalization at Radboud University, to talk to two associations: the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) and the Inter-American Organization for Higher Education (OIHE) about their organizations' views on climate justice and action, and the benefits and challenges of virtual, bi-annual, and annual conference models. We listen to Larissa Bezo, President and CEO of the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE), Melissa Payne, Director of Membership, Research and Learning (CBIE), and Luis Kauachi (IOHE) discuss the future of conferences and networking and finally - how practitioners can play active roles in shaping these changes. The presenting sponsor for the CANIE Climate Dialogues is the University of Auckland's International Office.

As a middle child, Melissa Payne was born to tell stories. What started with blaming her brother for breaking the car window evolved to a graduate thesis that she desperately wishes she could rewrite to blogging on motherhood and marriage. Now she likes to create stories set in wild and beautiful places with characters in flawed and imperfect relationships, whether that's between a mother and a daughter, friends or strangers. And imagining all of it with just a hint of the ethereal, a whisper of something beyond what we can see and a sense that it's all for a purpose. Her new novel, just out, is Memories in the Drift.  Intro music by Moby Outro by Dan-o-Songs

Though she wants to regain what she’s lost, she isn’t ready for the unwelcome memories of the boyfriend who broke her heart and the mother that abandoned her.

For as long as she can remember, Melissa Payne has been telling stories in one form or another—from high school newspaper articles to a graduate thesis to blogging about marriage and motherhood. But she first learned the real importance of storytelling when she worked for a residential and day treatment center for abused and neglected children. There she wrote speeches and letters to raise funds for the children. The truth in those stories was piercing and painful and written to invoke in the reader a call to action: to give, to help, to make a difference. Melissa’s love of writing and sharing stories in all forms has endured. She lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with her husband and three children, a friendly mutt, a very loud cat, and the occasional bear. The Secrets of Lost Stones is her first novel.
