Michele Dunaway

Michele Dunaway is an American author of romantic novels. She is a member of the Romance Writers of America and sold her first book because of an editor appointment at a national convention.

Dunaway is the elder of two siblings, in St. Louis, Missouri. She began writing as a young child, but didn't seriously attempt publication until 1999, when she met with an editor. The editor requested her work, and then bought it less than two months later. She has been published for over 15 years and also writes for the VisualThesaurus.com website.

USA Today reviewer Becky Condit recommended her 2014 book, A Little Christmas Jingle, as "a very sweet Christmas season story" with "a roller coaster of emotions and family interference."

Dunaway attended Kirkwood High School and Webster University, and many of her works feature St. Louis locations. She is also a high school teacher and the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association named her its 2012 High School Journalism Teacher of the Year.
