Michelle L. Crocker is a multi-genre author with a passion for crafting stories that blend heart, humor, and a touch of the unexpected. An Army wife of ten years and mom to five—three girls and two boys—Michelle writes with lived grit, compassion, and a deep understanding that love, like life, is never one-dimensional.
When she’s not writing, she’s empowering women as a pageant director—helping them build confidence, leadership, and life-long tools far beyond the stage. She also owns a dress boutique and believes every woman deserves to feel like she’s stepping into her own story, one dazzling moment at a time.
Michelle writes across genres, but her heart beats loudest for paranormal romance, where love tangles with the supernatural and danger meets desire. She also adores diving into classic romance and comedic chaos, proving that storytelling should entertain, empower, and leave readers wanting just one more chapter.
She is featured as the author of Nightside: The Turning in the anthology Secrets, Adventure, Fear, & Love — Book Four, with more titles coming soon.

Each chapter is an exhibit featuring a different type of asshole she unfortunately dated so you don’t have to.Grab a glass of wine, pull up a chair, and prepare to laugh at the wreckage. Because if you can’t laugh at your dating history… you’ll probably cry.”
