Michele Christian Children’s Book Author
Michele Christian is a longtime writer who loves to pen funny and light-hearted stories, often using the antics of her son and twin girls for material. Michele lives in Massachusetts and released her first children’s book, titled Sunny the Sneaker, in 2014. The following year Michele, along with her father, Robert Pitts, published the fun holiday tale Santa’s Mistake. Michele has contributed to many newspapers as well as written short stories for well-known books including the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series. She credits her warmth and creativity to her children, family and, quite possibly, to the fact that she is a left-handed redhead. Visit Michele Christian, Author on Facebook to learn more.
