About Michelle’s First Book, Forget Me Not:
If you enjoyed books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, then Forget Me Not should give you plenty of ghostly pleasure. If you’re a fan of television shows like The Ghost Whisperer or films like The Sixth Sense, you’ll also find more enjoyable modern spins on ghosts and the Gothic in these pages. After you finish Forget Me Not, I suspect you will want to read more of Michelle Pillow’s novels—fortunately, she has written plenty in both the romance and paranormal genres.” – Tyler Tichelaar, Ph.D., Author of The Gothic Wanderer: From Transgression to Redemption

A perfect blend of history, emotion, tension … fascinating and sympathetic characters, and the writing is superb. Pillow chooses magical details to set the scene, and they add to both the history and the emotion.

“Michelle Pillow is turning out to be a terrific surprise. I knew she’d mastered Horror; and I knew she had vampires down pat. I knew she handled the Paranormal novel like a champ. It shouldn’t have taken me so much by surprise to see that she could do a Contemporary Romance too… Michelle Pillow makes it all look so easy. I can’t wait to see what genre she’ll conquer next.” – Allie B, Novelspot
