Michele Campbell

grew up in Southern California, in Orange County, the city of Orange, on Orange Street. Her parents drove an orange Toyota Corolla hatchback during her formative years. As a result, she often wonders if there is any way around that rhymes with orange rule?it is possible that this is what led her to begin writing. She has been a lover of words and self-important emotional pronouncements all her life, so her primary genre is creative non-fiction. She once said in an interview, Creative non-fiction is where I get to talk about myself all I want and no one can stop me. All I have to do is figure out how to make my life sound interesting?

Michele now teaches high school French in Minneapolis because you should never underestimate the power of a captive audience. She lives in the Longfellow neighborhood.
