Ask Michelle Anything

Chris writes…

I love your books too much that I can’t even say how much I love them 😍
Please can you make more wolf brother books because i have read all of them and i love them too much! I can’t find any other series of books that I love as much as yours! I also have a few questions for you about your books!

1. Do you have any specific snacks you eat while you’re writing your books 📖

2.How do you make your books so good?

3.how do all the clans brush their teeth 🦷

4. Do you think you could describe how Renn and Torak look like because i can’t seem to get my mind on them!

5. What was your favorite wolf brother book that you have written so far?

Michelle Replies…

Hello, Chris.  I’m really glad that you like the wolf brother books so much!  You’ll probably have gathered from my answers to other readers that I’m afraid I won’t be writing any more, no matter how persuasively you plead (sorry about that) – but here are the answers to some of your questions: (1) I don’t eat snacks at all while I’m writing, but I do drink quite a lot of coffee.  It’s mostly just instant, but for the first mug of the day I have real coffee with half a teaspoon of cocoa in it.  That’s a way of persuading me to sit down and write!  (4) I’ve included little bits of description about Torak and Renn throughout Wolf Brother and also in some of the subsequent books, and I  prefer to leave it to readers to form their own impressions of them in their imaginations; so I think I’ll leave that up to you.  (5) I don’t really have favourites among the Wolf Brother books, although usually my temporary favourite is the last one I’ve written, because it’s still freshest in my mind; so when I’d just finished Wolfbane, that was my favourite. These days, however, I have no favourites.  That’s all I’ve got time for, Chris, as I need to answer Esme’s questions.  Thanks for getting in touch, and may the guardian run with you!  With best wishes, Michelle
