Brief Author Bio:

Michelle Reynoso has had creative outlets of diverse formats throughout her life. Writing has occupied the forefront as illustrated by her early titles, The Magic Key, The Television Horror, How Rein Became Rain, The Mini Farm, and The Invasion, which were written early in her career throughout grammar and middle school. She earned the "Future Author" award from her teachers in 1984. But, by High School, writing had taken a backseat to another creative avenue; theater. From the Raymond High School Drama Club to the local acting troupe, Giving life to the written word now moved her spirit. Her drama coach helped her prepare for the audition that changed her life, the one that won her entry into the prestigious New York University theater program. Through NYU's program Michelle studied at the The Lee Strasberg Institute,
and four years later earned her BFA.

Now, coming full-circle, Michelle's creative outlet has again returned to her first love of writing. She has coupled that with a new passion for photography. Her debut book published by XLibris (a strategic partner of Random House Ventures) entitled Do You? was a finalist in the New York Book Festival and the Writers Digest International Self-Published Book Awards. She has also been recognized by The International Library of Poetry with an The Editor’s Choice Award. Her photography has also received recognition in several publications and placed first in the Nature (Fauna) category for The 2006 Photography in Sussex County competition.

Michelle is currently working on a childrens' book "Petunia Wiggles, Giggles, & Hops", a sci-fi Young Adult adventure novel "The Hidden Force", and a Self-Help management book "Manage Me, Please".
