About Me

About Me:

My name is Michelle and I am a 27-year-old mother and university student. I very much enjoy reading and writing in my spare time, and usually read one or two books per month, depending on how busy I am with school. I also write a variety of things, but mostly novels. I have just completed my draft of my first novel, an historical fiction story about two women in different times, and am working with a freelance editor to enhance it. I also write short stories, essays, and (now) book reviews!




I have many interests, including biology, environmental science, zoology, history, art (particularly drawing and literature), baking, camping, fishing, and archery. Some of my favorite authors are Kate Morton, Kimberley Freeman, Lucinda Riley, Diana Gabaldon, J.K. Rowling, and Kristin Hannah. Some of my favorite books are:

Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan

Fatal Decision: Edith Cavell by Terry Arthur



I have an interesting history because I had my son when I was only seventeen years old. Since then I've been a single mother and have obtained my G.E.D, a college diploma, and an honors degree in biology and Indigenous Studies. I am currently studying to become an intermediate/senior teacher (grades 7-12). I also work part-time from home for an Indigenous historical researcher, where I mostly transcribe very old documents, and conduct Indigenous and genealogical research. I hope to be able to continue my writing well into the future - I have a passion for historical fiction and am swamped with book ideas. I am currently working on my second novel.
