C.S. Michelle is a writer and photographer based in Texas, where skies are wide and the unrelenting heat grants mercy to no one. When she’s not pursuing creative endeavors, she spends her time among family, friends, and books. In her younger, Lord of the Rings obsessed years, she couldn't have imagined she’d be so lucky to lead a rather hobbit-ish life. Her stories have been featured in the San Antonio Review and Friday Flash Fiction, and her photography has been published by Neiman Marcus, The Society Diaries Magazine, and The Knot.
