Michelle Hughes grew up as a military brat and now calls Verbena, Alabama home. Her love of romance began early in life when she would sneak her granny's bodice rippers into the bathroom for great plots to play out with her Barbie's. She's the mother of five great kids and married to the greatest fisherman on earth with a real job. Prior to a career in writing, Michelle was a singer/songwriter and hosted a televised talent showcase long before American Idol became popular. Her favorite place in the world is New Orleans and she hopes to own a vampire nightclub there when her children are grown. She's written sixteen contemporary romances and enjoys penning young innocent women meeting strong alpha males that rock their world. Steamy, sensual, and happily ever after, that's what Hughes lives for in her world of romance. Southern Hospitality is very important to Michelle, even in the world of literature. She's always willing to help new authors.
