Michelle Stephens is an Australian writer of twisty suspense mysteries and thriller fiction. She has recently finished work on her debut novel and is currently writing her second.

Before making the switch to full-time writing, Michelle was busy building worlds as an architect. But growing sick of real world constraints, she ditched her day job and started exploring more figurative worlds — and hasn’t looked back since.

These days, if she is not at her desk writing, you’ll find her with her head buried inside a book, sharing her favourite reads on Instagram or chasing fluffy yellow balls around a tennis court.

Michelle lives and works in Melbourne with her family.
