Michelle Birbeck

Michelle is 28 and has been writing and reading her whole life. Her earliest memory of books was when she was five and decided to try and teach her fish how to read, by putting the Beatrix Potter books in the fish tank with them. Since then her love of books has grown, and now she's writing my own, and looking forward to seeing them on her shelves, though they won’t be going anywhere near the fish tank. When she's not writing, she's out and about on her motorbike, or sat with her head in a book.
