Michaela Cole hails from the Midwest but transplanted to the South many moons ago to avoid that dreaded four-letter word (S-N-O-W). She spends her days as a business analyst and her evenings and weekends with family or writing, reading, and just generally not getting enough sleep. Caffeine keeps her fueled after nights of binge-reading romance books (particularly mm romance!) or rewatching adaptations of Jane Austen movies for the millionth time (Pride & Prejudice and Emma are her favs). She lives with her daughter and hyperactive puppy, and when things are calm at home (or when she slips away and hides) she likes scrolling through Instagram and connecting with writers and readers.
