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."
