About the Author

Michele was born in the mid-1970s amid a burgeoning sprawl of vineyards and new retirement homes. Despite training in law (or perhaps because of it), she has been a dancer, producer, writer, and all-round arty type in various countries for most of her life. Now back home in New Zealand after travelling aplenty, she writes full-time in an office surrounded by whispering trees. Her website is at www.micheledewinton.com.
