Blogging about my books, the writing process, mindset, and anything else I feel like sharing.
Well, first of all, my rule is NOT to respond to bad reviews, so maybe I should have titled this post a little better. As tempting as it may be to comment or engage with the reviewer, just don't do it!

Read MoreHi, I'm Michelle! Writing is a passion of mine. I love to entertain and educate through my writing. I started out writing about business and money and have moved on to thrillers and picture books.
Spending time with family is what I'm all about. Life's too short!
