I couldn’t and wouldn’t want to write without these people by my side. They are the wind beneath my wings, my positive mojo, the reason I have a smile on my face.
My lyrical muse and sexy dimpled husband.
My two boys who rock and roll their eyes at their romance writing mom.
My mom and my sister who always pick me up when I’m down and turn the fans of encouragement on high to help me soar even higher.
My best friend, Lisa Anthony, the best one in the whole wide world, but don’t tell her, people are always trying to steal her from me.
Michelle Warren. Author. Graphic Designer. A forever friend…she puts up with my ‘Michelle speak’ and never tries to hide from me, no matter how much of a pain in the arse I am.
My formatter, Julie Titus who makes my words almost as beautiful as she is.
My copy editor, Dr. Diane Klein, what can I say. I love her. I respect her greatly, and so appreciate her patiently teaching and ‘re-learning me’ <
Test readers, Kelly Moorehouse, Anda Upchurch, Wendy Neuman Wilken, Shaina Abbs, the beta girls on RR, and one sexy anonymous guy, who were invaluable to me, willingly slugging through my manuscript when it was rough enough to give them splinters and yet still seeing the beauty.
Brandee of Brandee’s Book Endings, a genuine, warm, and loving friend. And husband Craig for Dizzy’s accessories on istock under Cveltri.
My Black Cat Divas, the coolest of the cool, the love dream team. There are none more loyal, kind, generous, or positive than them. Mandy Anderson, Rita Jinkins Post, April Merriman, MJ Fryer, Lisa Kano, Alyssa Williams, and Peggy Warren.
Carol Allen, a graphic goddess at Star Angels’ Reviews & We-R-Promo Stars.
Technical consult, bartending extraordinaire, Lori Morgan, and J Garza/King for Spanish slang advice.
And my two friends across the pond who might possibly love reading and sharing a good book as much as I do. Rachel Maybury and Sian Lewis, who also were one of the first to know the subgenre of the secret book soon to come…oohh…ahhh…
Michelle Mankin is the author of the Black Cat Records series of novels.
Romance with subtext.
Reimagining classic stories with sexy rock stars and thought provoking issues.
For many years she worked in the insurance industry as an underwriter. Somehow, the boredom didn't kill her but the hours and hours of looking at facts and figures provided ample time for her mind to wander.
Black Cat Records in Vancouver provides the central backdrop for all of Michelle’s current novels. Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and Love Resolution are a Brutal Strength centered trilogy, combining the plot underpinnings of Shakespeare with the drama, excitement, and indisputable sexiness of the rock 'n roll industry.
Things take a bit of an edgier, once upon a time turn with the Tempest series. These pierced, tatted, and troubled Seattle rockers are young and on the cusp of making it big, but with serious obstacles to overcome that may prevent them from ever getting there.
When Michelle is not prowling the streets of her Texas town listening to her rock music much too loud, she is putting her daydreams down on paper or traveling the world with her family and friends, sometimes for real, and sometimes just for pretend as she takes the children to school and back.
