Based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, Michelle is also the founder of Energy in Balance, an online business dedicated to crystals, crystal jewellery and energy work. After spending more than fifteen years researching and writing educational content through her website, she turned her passion for storytelling into her first fantasy series.

Her love of travel has taken her to more than forty countries, where she immersed herself in different cultures, traditions and beliefs. Along the way she explored a wide range of spiritual practices, including crystal healing, sound therapy, energy work, shamanic traditions and ancient folklore. These experiences have helped shape the rich world, characters and magical systems found throughout The Return of the Dragons.
