Brenda Michelle is an emerging author of sweet romance.

She believes that love stories, like life, are best with a little bit of humor and a lot of heart. When she’s not writing, you can find her planning dream vacations as a cruise specialist travel advisor or leading a state association for mediators, which, it turns out, is excellent training for managing a cast of characters in a novel.

Her reading list is a testament to her love for a good story, spanning from sweet romance to fantasy and romantasy, with a healthy dose of YA and dystopian thrown in for good measure. She is also convinced that K-pop and K-dramas are the secret ingredients to creativity, because nothing gets the imagination going like a perfectly choreographed dance sequence to amazing lyrics or a heartfelt confession beneath a red umbrella on a rainy day.
