Hello! My name is Michelle Lynne, and I'm originally from Staten Island, New York. So, yes, you'd be right to guess that I'm Italian. I currently live in the Tampa Bay Area, and when I'm not writing, you'll usually find me reading, playing video games, or planning how to earn my next coaster credit.

For as long as I can remember, I've carried the world of Cloenia and its characters with me. Their story has been more than fifteen years in the making, growing and evolving alongside me through every stage of my life. What began as an idea only for me has become something far greater: a world I am finally ready to share with readers everywhere.

If this story can reach just one person and make them care about these characters as deeply as I do, then every late night and every revision will have been worth it. Until then, I'll keep writing, keep creating, and keep pushing forward to achieve my dream.
