D Michelle Gent (December, 1964) is an author of Fantasy books. Her first book released in 2010 (Deadlier... than the Male) based in Mansfield is about a female Werewolf. Her second book (Cruel...and Unusual)) is based in London and revolves around Jack the Ripper, taking you from his childhood to his death. Her third novel is (Blood on the Moon) released on Halloween 2011 and follows more of Red's adventures from the first book.

Deadlier...than the Male
This is her first novel published by Gingernut Books Ltd in September 2010. It follows the development of a female werewolf that will turn out to be one of the most powerful werewolves in their society.

Cruel...and Unusual
The second book is different from the first in that it is woven around the murders perpetrated by the infamous Jack the Ripper. It uses the werewolf legend set out in Deadlier...than the Male but is written so that you do not need to have read the first book to enjoy this one. Jack the Ripper is thoroughly researched and his crimes described in great detail. Published by Gingernut Books Ltd in April 2011

Blood...on the Moon
This is the third book in the Werewolf novels and it follows Red in her defence of the werewolf society against an old enemy who is out to cause trouble leading to possible civil war. A very up to date book incorporating the riots in England in 2011.

Dusty the Demon Hunter
A set of short stories aimed at teens and older. The stories revolve around an 18 year old girl, Dusty who happens to be a half demon. The series is growing at around one per month and marketed through Gingernut Books Ltd on Amazon.

Dream Lover
Dusty is a teenage girl, as normal as any of her friends... the Dryads, Faeries, Nymphs, Angels, Cherubs and half-demons like her. She has a dark past, her mother was killed by a Demon and now she is protecting herself in case that Demon comes back for her. In the meantime Dusty travels from this world to the Astral Plane and her adventures are legendary... amongst her friends at least.

Flights of Fantasy
Dusty and the Harpies: Dusty’s second adventure tells how she encounters mythical beasts who are trying to force her best friend’s cousin to commit suicide. She has to confront the beasts and drive them away but to do that, she must travel across the astral plane with the help of her friend Hunter and negotiate with the Ferryman in order to cross the River Styx safely.

Trouble X 3
Something is disturbing Dusty’s sleep and she wants to know what – or who – it is. A vampire wants her help – it seems odd that such a powerful being should need the help of a half-demon but Dusty is curious and she and Hunter make preparations for their safety before going along with the plan. The plan is not exactly as it would seem and Dusty soon realises that when dealing with vampires, it’s best to stay alert and at a safe distance.

Santa's little helper
This was a free give-away and only available through Gingernut Books Ltd free newsletter. It follows Dusty and Santa on Christmas Eve with a few surprises on the way. Based around the popular Christmas poem The night before Christmas.

Doppelgänger
Dusty's fifth adventure. Dusty and Hunter meet Dusty's Doppelgänger with all the problems of having a troublesome double around.

Biography
Michelle was born in Wirksworth, Derbyshire at the beginning of December 1964. As the first-born of three children, and the fifth living generation in a local mining family she hit the news early, appearing in the Derbyshire Times for her mother's efforts.

In recent times a more stable lifestyle has allowed her to follow jobs better in line with her character. She spent a number of years working as a Door Supervisor at public houses and night clubs, trying out different ways of keeping fit - such as kick boxing and gym work - she likes to do things girls don't normally do and she loves a challenge.

In the last few years she has been writing down ideas for this (Deadlier...) and other books and after a nine-month spell working at a school decided to take a year off work to finally produce her first book Deadlier... than the Male.

A number of years later, a few rejection slips under her belt and as much determination as ever, Deadlier... is joined by Cruel...and Unusual and Blood...on the Moon in the Werewolf series. Michelle's next book in her werewolf series Ancients and Gods will be out later this year. Michelle is also working on her Dusty the Demon Hunter series of short stories.

She lives in the heart of Sherwood Forest.
