Michelle Cook writes thrillers and dystopian fiction. She lives in the UK with her husband, their two young children, and a cat called Lyra Belacqua.
Her first joyful steps into creative writing were at the age of ten, when the teacher read out her short story in class. A slapstick tale of two talking kangaroos breaking out of a zoo, the work was sadly lost to history. Still, Michelle never forgot the buzz of others enjoying her words.
More recently, she has had several flash pieces published, was long-listed for the Cambridge prize for flash fiction, and placed first in the Writers’ Forum competition with her short story The Truth About Cherry House.
The eco-thriller Tipping Point is her debut novel, with the sequel, Counterpoint, released in Summer 2022.
