Shaun Melarvie is a rural general surgeon living in Door County, WI. His native state is North Dakota, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of ND with a major in English Literature and minors in Biology and Chemistry. He has been in private practice for thirty years in Sturgeon Bay that geographic sweet spot situated north of the bridge connecting the distal landmass to the proximal that separates the bay of Green Bay from the waters of Lake Michigan. In 2024, Dr. Melarvie partially retired and has had more time to contribute to a lifelong goal of writing a novel. Shaun has published The Fat Thief and The Relativity Diet (out of print), two works of non-fiction in the self-help genre.
