“I can’t wait to see what he does, but I don’t want to put pressure on him because there’s a lot of pressure between Mick and I.

Melanie published her first book, First Position, last year, described as a “ballet hit”, while her second is called The Unraveling.
Talking with The times And listing the vocabulary she uses for sexy scenes, she said: “Haunting, throbbing, pulsating. Just go to the thesaurus. That’s what Mick said, it’s like, ‘Heartbeat was used a lot in the second book.'”
The former dancer and choreographer added that it was Mick himself who encouraged her to start writing books in the first place.
However, she admitted that she would never want to be an aggressive “stage mom” towards her son, as she spoke out in a new interview.

This comes after Melanie shared a sweet birthday tribute for her 81st birthday earlier this summer.
