Michelle M. Pillow

Michelle M. Pillow is a successful business owner. She has one vivacious daughter and a loving husband who are constantly attempting to plague her home with new pets. So far they have managed to get two prairie dogs, countless fish, two cats, a dog, and one African Grey parrot past her guard—at least that is all she has seen so far. Aside from owning two businesses, she is a freelance photographer, has a great love for romance (especially historical, paranormal) and horror.

Michelle would love to hear from you and tries to answer her emails in a timely fashion. That is if the current hero will let her go long enough to check the computer. You can contact her by email at michelle_pillow(at)yahoo.com or visit her webpage, www.michellepillow.com.

She writes primarily romance but in varied sub-generes-- dark fantasy, gothic, fantasy, chick lit, paranormal, historical and contemporary.
