THE Q&A

ANGI: What story have you gotten lost in recently?

MICHELLE: I just finished reading The Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan. My car ended up having to go into the garage to get fixed and I got stuck on a freezing cold platform waiting for a train. Sarah’s Christmas inspired tale of three estranged sisters and the woman who adopted them helped to make the wait bearable.

ANGI: Favorite field trip?

MICHELLE: At the moment, because my last three Vikings books have been based around there, my favorite field trip has been to the Scottish islands, in particular Islay and Jura. I particularly loved Jura where Sent as The Viking’s Bride is set. It is also where George Orwell wrote 1984. My husband and I stayed at the island’s one hotel and then drove until the road ended. We then hiked for several miles to see George Orwell’s house and a few miles more to see the Coryvercken (the officially unnavigable whirlpool off Jura’s coast) However that day the sun was shining and the whirlpool was deceptively calm. It is one of the more remote parts of Scotland and very much unspoilt.

ANGI: Daffy Duck or Donald Duck?

MICHELLE: Daffy Duck

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?

MICHELLE: My favorite thing about Gunnar is that he sees the heroine’s inner beauty before she does.

ANGI: High Heels or Hiking Boots?

MICHELLE: Hiking Boots because my feet always ache in high heels.

ANGI: What’s your favorite dessert of all time?

MICHELLE: My favorite dessert is lemon meringue pie. I particularly like the River Café version which takes 18 eggs.

ANGI: Surf or Turf?

MICHELLE: Turf

ANGI: Wild Flower or Roses?

MICHELLE: Hard question as I love both. I am currently developing a wild flow meadow in what was the back lawn.

ANGI: Biography or History?

MICHELLE: History

ANGI: The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?

MICHELLE: Probably the most daring thing I have ever done is moving from the San Francisco Bay Area where I’d grown up to the UK to live permanently and where I knew no one except my husband. Because of his job, we ended up in Newcastle Upon Tyne and all his family lived about five hours to the south. Looking back on it, it seems crazy but at the time I didn’t hesitate.

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK: Where is your favorite writing place & why?

MICHELLE’S GOTTA ANSWER: At the moment, because it is cold outside, my favourite writing place is the kitchen table in front of the Aga. In the summer time, it is in the sun room overlooking the garden (the Christmas tree is currently in there)

UP NEXT for MICHELLE:

The next Viking is currently sitting on my editor’s desk and she let me know –revisions in the new year. However as part of the Reader Favorites’ program, The Warrior’s Viking Bride is being released again in Target and Walmart stores. It comes out on the 27th as luck would have it. (2 in one month for me!)
