Michele Clare lives in the beautiful scenic South Island of New Zealand with her ever-patient husband and grown-up children.

She's done many things with her time, teaching, tutoring, stacking shelves, filling cosmetic bottles, and keeping books, but she finds writing about her troublesome character’s love lives the most addictive and challenging thing ever. She enjoys travelling, and is always looking for inspiration for her stories, both in beautiful New Zealand and the rest of the wonderful world.

Michele drinks far too much tea, too little red wine, and loves nothing more than falling into a book for a few hours.


‘Love is smoke and is made with the fume of sighs.’
William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet
