Michelle R Reid

Biography

Stories have always been important in my life. From the skits I made up for my friends while jumping on the trampoline (Moon Prism Power!), to my first full length novel I wrote in 8th grade choir against my teacher’s wishes.
I am married to a wonder man and we have three very active kids that keep me on my toes. In college, I studied Zoology, Biology, Art, and English. I drove my counselor nuts. I finally settled on wanting to be an author like my mom. (Alysia S Knight-check her out!)
‘Curiosity killed the cat’ is a good saying for me. I love to figure out how all the pieces of the puzzles fit—whether it be in a book, movie, or real life situation. I like to take what I’ve learned and weave it into my books.

Fun Facts

Hobbies

Writing-obviously!, drawing, trying to be a good mom, interior design, eating chocolate, reading, singing, researching about animals (which ever strikes my fancy at the moment), watching funny cat videos, playing games (board and video), stalking Facebook, and daydreaming when I don't have to the time to do it.

Most Exotic Place Visited

A three week vacation to most of Europe. Nothing like watching your family fall apart and come back together again because they're the only ones who can speak English back to you.

What Shampoo Do You Use?

Healthy, Sexy Hair. (I'm actually a shampoo snob! Stupid, oily thin hair!)

Your Dream Car

A Lexus small SUV

Favorite Sport

Playing- Soccer. Watching- Figure-skating.

Mountains or Beach? Why?

Mountains. I grew up in the Rocky Mountains, they are so beautiful and relaxing to me. And I have an intense fear of water that I can't see the bottom of. I also know WAY too much about sharks to ever want to be in their territory.

Pet Peeve

I seen it... UGH!

Number of Published Books

1 1/2 (Second book is on pre-order)

Book that Changed Your Life

The Night World series by LJ Smith. Those books made little, dyslexic me WANT to figure out how to read. And then write.

Favorite Place to Write

I write at the kitchen table, but my creative place is at the sink in the bathroom. And my husband wonders why it takes me forty-five minutes to wash my face. ;)

Do You Listen to Music While Writing? What Kind?

Yes. I create a playlist for every book. And every book has it's own distinct theme song that just puts the scenes in my head by the first note.

Favorite Character You Created

Her name is Lenne. She's the main character to the first trilogy I ever wrote. I grew up and figured out life with her. Hopefully some day I'll be able to share her story with the world.
