Michelle Moran was born in the San Fernando Valley, CA. She took an interest in writing from an early age, purchasing Writer's Market and submitting her stories and novellas to publishers from the time she was twelve. When she was accepted into Pomona College she took as many classes as possible in British Literature, particularly Milton, Chaucer, and the Bard. Not surprisingly, she majored in English while she was there. Following a summer in Israel where she worked as a volunteer archaeologist, she earned an MA from the Claremont Graduate University.Michelle has traveled around the world, from Zimbabwe to India, and her experiences at archaeological sites were what inspired her to write historical fiction. A public high school teacher for six years, Michelle Moran is currently a full-time writer living in California with her husband. She is agented by Anna Ghosh of Scovil Chichak Galen Literary Agency.

Moran is very easily one of my favorite new authors. I am hopefully going to start reading Cleopatra's Daughter soon.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree even if I have not read any of her books yet. I just need to confirm my thinking with a reading. I read your review of Nefertiti and I really want to read it. Like you I love Egypt too!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks Heather and Lizzy both for telling me about how awesome her books are! Now I'm a Michelle addict too!
ReplyDeleteIf she went to CGU she must be gifted.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you see the other post about her and her novels I have coming up she is gifted. The type of writer where you can visualize what she is trying to tell you in the first sentence.
