Llanelyn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540327918)

Born and raised in the Midwest, now living near Washington DC, Michelle Breon began writing back in junior high school. She wrote novellas, short stories, and a few poems until experience and maturity led to deeper, intricate plot lines. Raising two children took much of her free time for years, but Michelle wrote every chance she had. She has a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's in degree in Management of Computer Information Systems. She enjoys antique car restoration with her husband, medieval re-enactment with the whole family, and genealogy - just to name a few of her eclectic hobbies. While she can pull from her engineering background, she keeps the technical jargon on a general level, for a light and easy read. The story of Gillian and Mischka began as an image - just a red haired woman in a small wooden rowboat on a lake. From that single image the book wrote itself. Completed back in 2006, it sat on a shelf waiting for Michelle to have the courage to take the leap and publish it. Gillian's story is book one in a growing series of books about the people and culture of Llanelyn, and their struggle to stay free in a universe dedicated to conquering the weak.
