What’s Michelle up to lately? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who’d like a quick update on what I’ve been working on lately? 🖐The bad news: I pressed pause on my story set in Iceland. I still love the concept, but a key plot detail didn’t work out, which means I need to do a major rewrite on it. Big picture, this isn’t a huge delay since I was working on it for the traditional publishing market. It’s at least a couple years from release anyway.The good news: This means that I’m focusing on Sugar and Spice, which is the final book in the 40 and Fabulous ser
My hot takes on fall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here in the US, there are lots of markers of fall: Labor Day, the first day of school, the first pumpkin spice latte of the season, and then, of course, the autumnal equinox on September 22.My hot take? It’s too dang HOT here in Georgia to call any of those fall. The kids went back to school here in early August when it was still in the upper 90s (sorry folks outside the US, I have no idea what that is in centigrade, but it’s the kind of heat and humidity that makes my hair launch into poodle mo

Happy DOG-ust!As a dog lover, I’m so thrilled when August rolls around. It’s not only the “dog days” of summer for us here in the Northern Hemisphere, but it’s “Dogust,” a time when we celebrate our canine pals. Did you know that August 1 is the universal shelter pet birthday?Pippin is a rescue, and I didn’t know about this when we got him, so we always celebrated his birthday with Bear’s in May. But I also celebrate him in Dogust, and I’m bringing the party here!If you’ve read Marriage in Troub
Secrets of a writer’s life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not gonna lie, writing can be lonely, even for an introvert. I get up every weekday at 5am to write for a couple of hours before I go to my day job. Sometimes, I hop on Zoom with my author friend Melanie Knight to talk for a few minutes before we go heads-down into our manuscripts. Other times, it’s just me and the blinking cursor on my screen. Usually, it’s still dark outside, and I feel like the only person who’s awake. Even the birds are silent!That’s why I love author events.Here’s a photo f
