Brook Cottage Books is thrilled to welcome new author Michelle Read to the blog. This is Michelle's first visit to Brook Cottages and definitely not her last. Let's find out about Michelle and her book Long Lost.
Michelle Read has lived in Bournemouth for over twenty years
after moving from South Wales where she was born and bred. She works as a full
time administrator but still manages to fit writing novels around her busy day.
Having been a fan of Jane Austen and historical romance in
general for some time she decided to embark on writing her first novel, ‘Long
Lost’, which to Michelle’s own surprise, has turned into a trilogy. The second
book will be called Long Last, and the third book will be called Long Love. She
is a born romantic and loves nothing better than writing of romantic adventures.
Long Lost is to be published at the end of May 2014.
She enjoys history and can often be found strolling around
stately homes and castles in her spare time, along with attending food
festivals, reading copious amounts of books and chatting on Facebook and
Twitter.

Then one morning she wakes up two hundred years in the past and her whole world is turned upside down, as she is faced with a new era she knows nothing about. However, she soon finds that she is falling for her new lifestyle, the people in it and even a handsome and very wealthy gentleman.
