Michelle Moran is a highly accomplished author, best known for her international bestselling historical novels. She has a master's degree in education and was inspired to write historical fiction due to her experiences as a volunteer on archaeological digs during her summer breaks as a high school teacher. Moran's novels have been translated into over twenty languages, a testament to her widespread appeal and the global reach of her storytelling.
Born and raised in southern California, Moran attended Pomona College and later earned a Master's Degree from the Claremont Graduate University. Her love for history and archaeology took her on travels around the world, providing her with rich experiences and knowledge that she would later infuse into her novels. In 2012, Moran was married in India, an event that inspired her to write her seventh book, Rebel Queen, which is set in the East.
Moran is currently researching her ninth book, having relocated to England with her family. Her hobbies include hiking, traveling, and archaeology, and she is particularly fascinated by archaeogenetics. Given her children's mixed heritages, this interest is not only academic but also personal. Despite her many interests and pursuits, Moran's passion for reading is paramount, and she can often be found with her nose in a good book.
