Michelle Bennington was born and raised among the rolling hills and lush bluegrass of Kentucky. Her early and avid love of books inspired her desire to write, and has developed into a mild book-hoarding situation and an ever-expanding To Be Read pile. She currently resides in central Kentucky, where she spins tales of mystery and intrigue in contemporary and historical settings. Aside from reading and writing, she enjoys a wide range of arts and crafts, touring old homes, attending ghost tours, baking with various degrees of success, and spending time with her family and friends.
