Mel Tatum is the author of “Billy Frank, the POW and the Geneva Convention,” published in Yard Dog Press’ International House of Bubbas Anthology and “Timeline,” in the Flush Fiction anthology forthcoming from Yard Dog. She is also the author of numerous other things you’ve probably never heard of since they were published in academic black holes known as law reviews and include phrases such as “jurisdictional quandary” and “full faith and credit.” Mel spends her days happily torturing law students under the guise of teaching them new and different aspects of Criminal Procedure and Indian law.
