Billboard-size Pizza and Why Wisconsin for the MacGregors?

welcomewisconsinA question I get asked a lot is, “How do I choose the location for my stories?”


When it came time to scout locations for a contemporary romance—the Warlocks MacGregors series. I was adamant that I wanted somewhere that small town America was represented. Wisconsin was the perfect place. But it was a close call between the cheese state and a location in the south.


Having grown up in the heartland myself I knew how connected people can be to the land.


And then of course there’s my fondness for all things cheese, which brings me to fun facts about Malina, who happens to be the heroine in “Cauldrons and Confessions” the next MacGregor’s book, coming soon.


One of Malina’s gifts is that she is able to materialize objects from their pictures. Enter the MacGregor males, I was going to say men, but I’ll let you decide for yourself. So, boys being boys, her brothers and cousins stole a bunch of billboards so she could materialize giant pizzas for them. Rory also took a billboard with a picture of a 6-foot boxer puppy on it, and is currently pestering Malina to make him a friend.


Oh well, it’s back to writing. Wish me luck. And if you haven’t read the series, “Love Potions” book 1 is reduced to 99 cents for a limited time.


Happy reading,

Michelle

Refugee of the Apocalypse: Being an extra on ‘Z Nation’

refugeeapocalypseRefugee of the Apocalypse: Being an extra on ‘Z Nation’

December 2016 Photos and Article by Michelle M. Pillow

(Journalism/Firsthand Account)





It is no secret to my readers that one of my lifelong dreams is to be a zombie extra in a horror film. It’s been featured on my author bio for years in hopes that the Universe would take note and make the dream come true. I’m ready, too. I’ve been practicing each morning when I’m pre-coffee, groaning incoherent words, and stumbling around on stiff legs. All that’s missing is the makeup artist…

New Article: Michelle Pillow’s New Novel Reflects that Gothic Romance Is Alive and Well

Michelle Pillow’s New Novel Reflects that Gothic Romance Is Alive and Well


New critique of the novel ‘Forget Me Not’ by Michelle M. Pillow


by Tyler Tichelaar, Ph.D.


“As a scholar of the classic Gothic novel of the nineteenth century, from time to time I like to read twenty-first century Gothic novels to see how well the seeds that Mrs. Radcliffe planted are flourishing. I’m happy to report that authors like Michelle Pillow are keeping the Gothic tradition alive and well by utilizing standard Gothic plot devices but making them their own as the Gothic evolves into something more spiritual and less terrifying than its originators may have first imagined.” — Read the entire critique here!
