About the Author

Michelle Pointis Burns juggles mothering her ten children, homeschooling “only” four children now (the oldest five have graduated college, offspring #6 is currently in college), living her Catholic faith, and writing. She loves to research topics of all kinds, read British authors (especially Jane Austen and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), quote movies in regular conversation, and drink hot chocolate from elegant teacups. When asked how she manages it all, she has been known to reply, “Prayer, caffeine, and a sense of humor.”

Michelle has been a devoted member of the NY Chemung Valley Mothers of Twins Club (she has two sets of twins), and the Corning Area Writer’s Writers’ Group. Born and raised in Queens, NY, Michelle currently lives in Upstate New York on a working goat and sheep farm with her husband and her four youngest children. Say Cheese and Murder is her first novel. She is currently working on a sequel.
