MICHELE LINDSEY lives in upstate New York with her husband, a sweet but rambunctious puppy, two kitty overlords, and a very spoiled bunny named Megatron (who has his own room and can usually be found carrying around his stuffed bunny). Michele is the mother of two fantastic young adults and has been an ice-cream scooper, a wedding DJ, a balloon-toting clown, a travel agent and a dental assistant. Currently known in the publishing world as M.L. STOUGHTON, author of young adult paranormal romance, Michele Lindsey released her first in a series of historical western romances in January 2019. She is member of RWA (Romance Writers of America) and its local chapter, STAR (Southern Tier Authors of Romance). Her first novel, Pleasantwick, won a gold medal in the 2017 Readers’ Favorite Awards and was chosen as the “Official Selection” for Young Adult Fantasy in the 2017 New Apple Summer E-book Awards.
