Hi

I’m Chrissie Michaels

I really enjoy being a writer. My published work includes children’s and young adult fiction, educational texts, digital narratives, short stories and poetry.

My passion is researching and writing history. Knowing about the past helps us to understand ourselves and others. By learning about how people in times gone by managed their way through situations or solved problems, maybe we can work out ways to better live our life. Hopefully, we can then create a more humane and fairer world for everyone.
