The Stolen Twin

2015

On the surface, Kit Caldwell has it all. A senior in college with her future ahead of her, lots of friends, lots of parties…not to mention also having the eye of Tommy, the star quarterback of the football team. But underneath, Kit's life is a charade, built on a foundation of secrets and lies, including one so dark it threatens to tear her world apart: her twin sister, Cat, was kidnapped when they were both seven, never to be heard from again. That is, until one dark Halloween night. But is it really Cat? Or is it someone else, someone playing a sinister and deadly game?

2016

There is a serial killer out there. A serial killer targeting young men. A serial killer who appears to be Linda’s sister Elizabeth. Linda's dead sister Elizabeth. But it can’t be Elizabeth. She's dead. Right? Could she still be alive? Or somehow back from the grave? Or, maybe something even darker is happening … something that threatens Linda's life, as well. Something that has been buried for years in the secrets and lies of her twisted family history. Can she discover the truth before it's too late?

The Taking

2022

Twenty-four years ago, five-year-old Tori walked into her newborn brother's room in the middle of the night and discovered a figure abducting him. The only problem was, Scott’s lifeless body was found in the crib. No one believes what she saw that night. Not her father. Not her mentally unstable mother. Not the police. Years later, she builds a new life by burying that terrible moment deep in the past. Until another mentally unstable woman is found with her dead newborn ... and she says her "real" baby was taken by a shadowy figure. Terrible coincidence? Or is there something more twisted and deadly going on?

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com. Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie. When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
