Michelle Griep has been writing since she was a child, when she first discovered a blank wall and a box of Crayolas. Apart for the graffiti period she went through as a youngster, she tries to praise God in whatever she writes. She lives in Minnesota's freezing tundra, where she teaches history and writing at a local high school co-op. She's an Anglophile at heart, and she sneaks away to England whenever she can, ostensibly for studies. In reality, she's meandering around a castle eating an inordinate quantity of scones.

Michelle is a member of both ACFW and MCWG (Minnesota Christian Writers Guild). Visit michellegriep.com or follow her exploits on her blog Writer off the Leash.
