About the Author (#u7552ef10-cde7-5696-aebf-6dc11b319e55)

MICHELLE KENNEY is a firm believer in magic, and that ancient doorways to other worlds can still be found if we look hard enough. She is also a hopeless scribbleaholic and, when left to her own devices, likes nothing better than to dream up mystical, fantasy worlds in a dog-eared notebook. Doctors say they’re unlikely to find a cure any time soon.

In between scribbling, she loves reading, running, attempting to play gypsy-folk music and treasure-hunting on deserted beaches with her young dreamers-in-training.

Michelle is a graduate of the Curtis Brown Writing for Children Novel Course. She also holds an LLB (Hons) Degree and is currently an Accredited Practitioner with the CIPR, with whom she has won several national awards for her magazine and media/PR-related work.
