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."
