ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Michelle Grahame lives in Northwest Kent, and enjoys visits from her family, reading and taking part in local activities. “I love creating characters and plots for my novels.” Says Michelle. As an avid collector, she likes attending boot and antique fairs, where a random purchase can become an inspiration for her writing. A qualified art historian and lecturer, now retired, she has had many opportunities to engage with people who share her interest. The Yellow Diamond, and its sequel, Staplewood Park, are her first historical novels.
