When Eclair's mother leaves home, Eclair and her little sister must go live on a farm with Stella, their eccentric grandma. “More and more, grandparents today are assuming the role of part-time or even full-time caregivers for their grandkids. In Eclair Goes to Stella's, we see how one grandmother bravely and creatively steps into this role to help her family through a difficult situation. I'm certain that children everywhere will be able to relate to the range of emotions that little Éclair faces as she struggles to adjust to her new living arrangements then begins to welcome the love and care her grandmother offers.” ~ Renee Gray-Wilburn, co-author of Grandparenting Through Obstacles: Overcoming Family Challenges to Reach Your Grandchildren for Christ (Pix-N-Pens, 2012).

Michelle is a fulltime employee of God’s kingdom, writing and encouraging writers every day. She’s a sucker for emotional stories, her sensitive side fueling the passion for her character’s plights, often giving her the ability to show readers the “other” side of the story. She grew up in the burbs of Detroit with five brothers. No sisters. Each time her mom brought the boy bundle home Michelle cried, certain her mom liked boys better than girls. But when her brothers pitched in with the cooking, cleaning, and babysitting—without drama, Michelle discovered having brothers wasn’t so bad. They even taught her how to take direct criticism without flinching, which might come in handy with book reviews. Michelle is living her dream—writing every day and thanking God for the stories He puts in her path. When Michelle isn’t writing she’s winning ugly on the pickle ball court. She’s known as “Queen of the Rim Shots.” No joke. It’s ugly. Her debut novel, Cache a Predator is a geocaching mystery and an Amazon bestseller in the thriller/crime category. Scattered Links (initially titled Love is Just a Word) was the winner of the 2013 Aspiring Writers Competition, sponsored by Write on Con and The Reading Room. It's also a Gold Medal winner in the Readers' Favorite International awards and a Bronze Medal winner in the Dan Poytner's Global Awards. Her recent book, Fractured Not Broken is a true story of heroic virtue. Michelle blogs at Random Writing Rants where she teaches and encourages writers how to get published.
