Nice to meet everyone on BookTalk! I am a new paranormal romance author. I live in Lake Panasoffkee, FL with my mother, my brother, my two aunts, three dogs, and three cats. You could say that I have a large family. I have two beautiful daughters who currently live in Michigan and are now on their own journeys in life. I am forty-five years young and my hobbies include reading and woodcarving.

My inspiration for reading and writing comes from my mother. My mom used to read bedtime stories when I was little, but she also read me works of Steven King and Dean Koontz when I got older. It was our special time together away from reality.

I have always enjoyed reading and thought about trying my hand at writing many times, but just never sat down to do it. With my daughters now grown and life a bit more settled, I revisited my love of writing and with my brother's encouragement, it is turning out to be an exciting and fun journey to write the books and now see them published.

Hi Michelle,

I think reading to your children is so important and it forms the foundation for a love of books and reading. Welcome to the community.

Thanks Chris!
