Ask Michelle Anything

Just a quick comment to say thank you for all the worlds that you've shown me:)

I adored the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness as a child and when I read them now feel just as immersed in Torak's world. I don't know another series that is so wonderfully rich and well researched!

Recently read Dark Matter and Thin Air and have rarely been more unsettled by books. I love them! Same feelings as reading Daphne Du Maurier's horrors.

So yeah, just wanted to say thank you and I hope you're well 🙂

Dear India,

What a truly lovely message to receive on a cloud, windy and rainy Monday morning!  I’m delighted that you enjoyed the Wolf Brother books as  a child, and it’s great that you’ve since graduated to my adult Gothic stories. I find that very encouraging as I battle to find enough time to finish my fourth Gothic story (after Wakenhyrst, that is).  It’s set in a rainforest, and has been bleating for my attention over the past few weeks, as I’ve been busy dealing with stuff concerning my elderly Ma.

Thanks again for getting in touch.  Stay well, and happy reading!

Best wishes, Michelle
