About Michelle

I have always loved the written word. As far back as I can remember I’ve enjoyed books. My mother, an elementary school teacher, read to my four older siblings and me a lot while we grew up in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After I learned to read on my own, books were part of my daily life. When I walk into a bookstore, I take a deep breath, inhaling that wonderful, unique aroma. Ahhh.
(Sorry techies, but ya just can’t do that with a Kindle!)

So it wasn’t a big surprise when I discovered how much I enjoyed writing my own stories. I filled pages of notebooks and eventually computer screens with tales of love, heartbreak, drama, and humor. Although I write various genres,
historical settings are my favorite.  

When I’m not writing, editing, or dreaming up new stories, my husband and I have the unique experience of working as Estate Caretakers, which means we live and work on a large private property. The job can be exciting—and it can be hard work—but it’s also a huge blessing. We also enjoy spending time at the beach, lake, or mountains with our two brilliant sons and their beautiful wives.
