MICHELLE VERNAL

Michelle Vernal is an English-born Kiwi whose parents emigrated from Liverpool – often called “Little Ireland” – when she was small. An avid reader, she grew up on a steady diet of Enid Blyton books, home baking, and her mum’s vivid tales of life in the port city. As an adult, she graduated to Maeve Binchy, Cathy Kelly, Sheila O'Flanagan and Marian Keyes, and fell head over heels for Ireland the moment she set foot on its green shores.

After living in Ireland for a period – where her husband Paul proposed – Michelle now sprinkles the humour, warmth, and lyrical charm of the Emerald Isle into every one of her novels. She writes heartwarming Irish fiction and uplifting, emotional women’s fiction, often with a dash of history, a pinch of family drama, and the kind of characters you’ll wish you could share a pot of tea with.

Michelle lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, with her husband, two young adult sons, and their attention-seeking tabby cats, Humphrey and Savannah, who firmly believe they run the household.
