Michelle Cary

Born in ‘small town’ Illinois, I grew up in the average middle class family. Surrounded by good friends, rode bikes with my friends, played with Barbie dolls and danced in my bedroom to the radio. While life wasn’t always peaches and cream, I don’t have any damaging childhood scars and consider myself lucky to have such a loving family. Once I turned 18, for reasons more complicated than I want to explain, I moved away from my comfort zone of flat land and cornfields half way across the country to the East coast. Settling in a suburban town in New Jersey I, dealt with culture shock while I continued to live with family and attended college for art.

Now, over 20 years later, I still live in New Jersey with my loving husband of 17 years, my two awesome children, one affectionate, sensitive dog who thinks she’s human, one noisy, very old cat and at last count three fish.

I’ve always loved all forms of art and have been creative since I was old enough to hold a crayon (by proof of drawings that up until a few short years ago hung on my aunt’s bedroom wall). I’ve dabbled in everything from watercolors, oils and acrylics to modeling clay, batiking and charcoal pencil drawings.

Eight years ago I was watching an episode of Deadliest Catch when a storyline began forming in my head. After walking around with it spinning circles in my brain for several days, my husband told me to write it down and it would go away. 75k later and I had my first (very rough draft) of what would one day become my novel ‘Northern Lights’.

Suddenly I found myself with a new artistic opportunity to follow. Eight years and 12 stories later the only thing I love more than seeing a completed work come to fruition, is to hear about how people love to read my stories.

A few years ago I decided to start writing shorter, hotter, raunchier titles. Fearing that my Michelle Cary fans wouldn’t appreciate the other side of me I chose to write these stories under a different pen name. However, keeping up with two names, two blog, two of everything was much more difficult than I had imagined. Whenever I would pay attention to Ginny then Michelle suffered and vice versa.

Then some friends of mine provided me with the solution to my problem and thanks to their help, ‘Quick and Dirty wth Ginny’ was born. If you’re looking for a short read that’s a little nastier, a little raunchier, a little naughtier, then check out my Quick and Dirty wth Ginny line.
