Michelle grew up on a steady diet of Grimm's Fairy Tales and fantasy, then discovered the glorious phenomenon that is the historical romance novel, and my writing life would never be the same. She's a sucker for pure historical escapism...the swish of heavy skirts, guys in linen shirts, and moody weather is her happy place. She lives with her husband and two sons in Nova Scotia, Canada where moody weather and bagpipes are plentiful, but alas, guys in puffy shirts are too few. She holds a Masters in Library and Information Studies from Dalhousie University, and is a current member of the Romance Writers of Atlantic Canada.
