Michele sold her first romance novel after an editor appointment at the Romance Writers of American (RWA) national convention. Describing herself as a woman who does way too much and never wants to stop, Michele Dunaway writes about love and second chances in small towns that have cookie stores and wineries.

Michele recently retired from an award-winning high school English and journalism teaching career. She’s a proud mother of two grown daughters. As an avid pet lover, Michele shares her home with far too many rescued cats, who of course completely rule the roost. (You can see those cats on Instagram using #dunawaycats)

Michele currently serves as the 2023 president of the League of Romance Writers, the former West Houston chapter of RWA.
