The Making of Christine Michelle
Born with a pen in hand (or so we imagine), Christine Michelle started crafting stories in her youth, dreaming of becoming a fiction author. Early rejections from agents, who claimed the paranormal market was oversaturated, pushed her to take the indie route in 2011. This bold move gave her creative control and the freedom to publish at her own pace. A mom to four and a pet parent to three fur babies, she draws inspiration from her bustling life, late-night writing sessions, and the nudge of her dog demanding morning walks.
Her indie journey wasn’t just about writing—it was about building a community. From her work at Moonlit Dreams Publications, where she handles advertising and graphic design, to engaging with fans online, Christine’s warmth and hustle shine through. Her love for hiking, live music, and “giggles” infuses her storytelling with a playful, heartfelt vibe.
