Michelle Bellon lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband
and their four children. She loves to travel with her family. She is
desperately confused as to why she lives where it rains all the time because
she lives for sunny days and blue skies. She drinks coffee until she’s manic
and loves to dance.
She married Pablo Bellon in her early twenties and relished her
time as a stay-at-home mom for many years before she decided to go to college.
She graduated with her nursing degree in 2005. Then when she and her husband
decided to have their fourth child she took leave of her medical career to be
with the baby. It was during this time that she began writing her first book.
Six months later, she sat back and stared in complete disbelief
at the final page of a young adult novel and said, “I think I just wrote a
book.” What next? So she set to doing the research on what it took to publish a
novel. That’s when she discovered that writing the book was the easy part.
Publishing and marketing that book was another beast altogether. She also
discovered that her book was somewhat of a mess. It needed a lot of work!
So she immersed herself in the business. She found a writers
critique group. She read everything she could on the craft of writing. She went
to conferences and listened to the wisdom of authors and editors. She
researched on the internet until her eyes felt like they were bleeding. But
most of all, she wrote. And wrote. And wrote. Until she began to feel like she
might, just might, have a chance at making a name for herself in this tough
industry.
In four years she wrote seven books. Three have been published.
Four are currently contracted to be published with Pandamoon Publishing. In the
summer of 2012, she won the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for her YA,
Embracing You, Embracing Me. Later that same year she won a silver medal award
from Wise Bear Media literary contest for her YA, as well as a silver for Rogue
Alliance, the first edition.
As a multi-genre author, she writes suspense, romance, women’s
fiction, literary fiction, YA, and her latest is crime suspense with paranormal
elements.
