Meet the Author

Hello, I’m Jade Michelle.

I live on the beautiful Central Coast of Australia where life moves at a simpler pace. It’s the perfect place to walk with a dog by my side and to write a book! Dogs and the beach are my two great loves, and when I can have them together, I’m content.

I have just finished writing my first book, a memoir titled Daisy Chains and Butterflies. After wanting to write a book for most of my life, I finally sat down and did it with the help of the amazing Rose from HeartWriting. Bringing this story to the page has been a personal and rewarding journey, and I am now excitedly embarking on the next chapter: the world of publishing.

While I organise the publishing of Daisy Chains and Butterflies, I have already begun writing my second book, a collection of stories about people and their dogs. These are the quiet, everyday moments that often go unnoticed, yet stay with us forever; the loyalty, the shared laughter, the gentle lessons, and the deep, unconditional love that dogs bring into our lives.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a dream of one day holding a book in my hand that I wrote, and I’m so grateful to finally have a voice. I hope that my writing will make a difference to others who choose to read.

Thank you for stopping by. I’d love for you to join me on this writing adventure.

Warmly, Jade Michelle
