Michelle Lawson

Michelle is an English writer and lecturer. Her interest in how place can be a portal to understanding ourselves permeates all of her work.

Michelle’s non-fiction writing is inspired by an interest in migration, the search for a new life abroad and the gaps left by family secrets. An academic study of British incomers in the French Pyrenees became a stepping stone to a ravel narrative: A House at the End of the Track.

Michelle’s fiction career has been inspired by her observations of people and place. Themes of manipulation and vulnerability, and the difficulty of separating a dream from reality, inspired her debut novel, The Wicked Game, set in the intriguing city of Kathmandu.

When Michelle isn’t writing, she could be teaching Applied Linguistics, or halfway up a Pyrenean mountain, or even riding a tram in Central Europe.
