Welcome!
Hi there. Welcome to my author newsletter, where I share exclusive fiction, personal essays, reading recommendations, and notes on the writing life.
Wait, what? Who are you?
Like millions of girls born in the seventies, I’m Michelle. (As a clerk at the Walgreens in Winston-Salem told me not so long ago, “Nobody has that name anymore.”) I’ve published eight books of fiction, including most recently THE WONDER TEST and THE MARRIAGE PACT. Back in 2007, I published a novel called The Year of Fog, which is about a child who goes missing in the fog on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach. I can’t believe it has been more than fifteen years years. Time is a mystery. Pretty much the only thing that hasn’t changed in those years is that I drink a lot of coffee. A LOT. You’ll find a more complete bio on my author website.
