Her first children's novel is called The Magical Faerie Door, and is available in hardback and ebook. Her Visionary Collection contains a novella called Heaven dot com as well as three novels: The Doorway to PAM, The Elphite and I'm Here.

Michelle has also written a non-fiction self-help book called Where's My F**king Unicorn? which helps you to recognise your excuses and own your s**t so you can actually change your life. When not writing and publishing, Michelle spends her time crafting, taking photos and exploring in the woods. She also loves to bake and has a lot of fun experimenting since she is a gluten-free, dairy-free veggie. To see her favourite photos, follow her on Instagram! (@michellegordonauthor).
