Melinda
Roberts Tyler has had a fascinating life.
In her lifetime, she
has been a professional actor and musician, worked as an exotic dancer
and high priced call girl, as well as started the world's first fantasy
phone call service.
She was a member of San Francisco's punk
rock scene of the 1980's and later became a hard core heroin addict.
She
recovered from addiction in the mid-1990's, after which time she became
an honors college student, fully funded doctoral student, and award
winning professor of psychology.
She is currently writing a
detailed account of her life experiences in a memoir, whose working
title is "Lost and Found: A Journey."
