Michelle Robins is an American expat living in Central Europe and a member of the Prague Writer’s Group. When not telling stories, she can be found with her nose stuck in a book, building and designing websites, or trying to teach herself one of her many target langauges. As a polyglot and former English language teacher, she often has the opportunity to use her knowledge of grammar for both good and evil.
She is represented by Emelie Burl at Susan Schulman Literary Agency. You can get in touch with her here.

All the Elsewheres
The roots of all stories are true…at least somewhere.
Convention states that magic isn’t real, but folklore student Ruby is trying to prove otherwise. When she stumbles upon a semi-sentient, soul-stealing ghost train instead of a whimsical adventure, she must decide if magic is worth dealing with monsters to attain, or if she’d be better off giving it up entirely.
For fans of Spirited Away, The Starless Sea, The Ten Thousand Doors of January, Neverwhere, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.
Of Ink and Blood
The gods destroyed Sofira’s city when they killed their king. Now, fifteen years later, somehow they’ve discovered the audacity to demand she help break a curse that’s slowly destroying their magic. Sofira thinks they deserve it, but if she says no, she’ll singlehandedly doom them all.
For fans of Naomi Novik, Hannah Whitten, and Laini Taylor
WIP: baking ghost grandma
Bakery owner Nora is haunted, and she likes it that way. That is, until her ghostly grandmother and the florist next door uncover a band of amateur necromancers trying to use ghosts to pilot their hopeful undead.
Magical capitalism (is bad)! Magic is like the early Internet (new, complicated, changing too fast)! A ghost cat (meow)!
