Unlike my main character Kelly Jones, I lead a fairly tame life: instead of hunting down serial killers, I while away most of my days at a keyboard. I was more exciting in my twenties when I worked as a dog walker, modern dancer, personal trainer, bartender/social commentator, and Russian supperclub performer. I currently live in San Francisco. When not writing I can be found running errands, cleaning my house, and eating.

My second book, BONEYARD, will be released next summer. It focuses on a cat and mouse game between dueling serial killers in the Berkshires region of western Massachusetts.

Here's what other writers have said about my books:

"Boneyard is a winner! A compelling page-turner."
-Jeffrey Deaver, New York Times bestselling author

"I defy anyone to read the first chapter of Boneyard and put the book down."
-Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author

"Michelle Gagnon is a fresh and confident new voice in crime fiction, and The Tunnels marks an auspicious debut."
-John Lescroart, New York Times Bestselling author

"A stellar work of mounting suspense and terror. Ritual murder, ancient magic, and buried secrets all blend seamlessly in this debut mystery by a major new talent. Not to be missed!"
-James Rollins, New York Times Bestselling author

Great Piece by Mark Arsenault on...me! And I didn't even have to pay him (much).
