Biography of Michelle Reid
Early Years and Love for BooksMichelle Reid, a popular writer, was born in Manchester, United Kingdom. She grew up in an ordinary family with modest means, along with her four siblings. Despite the many household responsibilities, Michelle's mother had a great love for books and tried to instill this passion in all her children. Michelle fondly remembers the joy she felt when she would come home from school to find a stack of books on the kitchen table, which her mother would make a bi-weekly trip on the bus to the library to get. Michelle immersed herself in reading and even tried writing her own novel.
Challenges and Family Life
However, the need to make a living led Michelle to attend college for secretaries after finishing school, followed by a series of uninteresting jobs. Marriage turned Michelle Reid into a homemaker, wife, and mother. She had two daughters, and her responsibilities towards them became her top priority. However, her love for books never diminished, and just like in her childhood, the house was always filled with several open books in different places. When her daughters grew up and became independent, Michelle unexpectedly realized that the stories forming in her mind were worthy of being put on paper. She started writing short stories in notebooks in the evenings and eventually moved on to her favorite genre - romantic fiction.
Success as an Author
Gathering courage, Michelle Reid submitted her manuscript to Mills & Boon, a publishing house she herself admired, and in 1988, her first novels, "Pride's Master" and "Eye of Heaven," were published. This success inspired Michelle, and she started writing one novel after another, becoming a sought-after author. As she admitted herself, many mornings started with an idea for a new book that she just had to put on paper. Over the course of 20 years of collaboration with the publishing house, the writer published over 40 novels. Her most recent book, "The Man Who Risked It All," was released in 2012.
