Michelle is Tasmanian born and now resides in the UK, just north of London. She relishes outdoor and travel adventures with her wife, writes by the seat of her pants, and often lives life by the same philosophy. She believes that life is about opportunities: You choose to take them or you don't. Someone far more famous than her once said, "If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got." Motivated by this, Michelle likes to explore opportunities that come her way.
The urge to write seemingly stalked Michelle until she finally succumbed in her mid-thirties. Surprise was her initial reaction, but now the author title inspires her on a daily basis. Getting Lost is her debut novel. Go on, seize the opportunity and get lost! You never know what you might find. Lambda Literary Award finalist Carsen Taite is on a mission: spin tales with plot lines as interesting as the true, but often unbelievable stories she encountered in her career as a criminal defense lawyer.
She is the author of numerous short stories and eight novels: truelesbianlove.com, It Should be a Crime, Do Not Disturb, Nothing but the Truth, The Best Defense, Beyond Innocence, and Slingshot and Battle Axe - the first two books in the Luca Bennett Bounty Hunter series. She is currently working on her ninth novel, Rush, a romantic intrigue. Originally from Cuba, Ali Vali has retained much of her family's traditions and language and uses them frequently in her stories.
Having her father read her stories and poetry before bed every night as a child infused her with a love of reading, which carries till today. In 2000, Ali decided to embark on a new path and started writing. She has discovered that living in Louisiana and running a non-profit provides plenty of material to draw from in creating her novels and short stories. Mixing imagination with different life experiences, she creates characters that are engaging to the reader on many levels.
Ali states that "The feedback from readers encourages me to continue to hone my skills as a writer."
