Michele Murray lives in South Park in Central Colorado. She is a professional geologist (sometimes reflected in her stories) and freelance writer. Her articles on outdoor living have been published in Mountain Gazette (she has been a contributing editor for 12 years), as well as in Discover the Outdoors, EQUUS, Fly Fishing World, Native People's Magazine, New Tribal Dawn, The Aquarian, International Double Reed Society, and other literary journals. She also writes fly fishing stories for http://www.coloradofishing.net/ and www.wyomingfishing.net. Michele's stories are included three anthologies: "Colorado Mountain Dogs," published by WestWinds Press - The Pruett Series, an imprint of Graphic Arts Books, 2014. "Comeback Wolves: Western Writers Speak for Wolves in the Southern Rockies," published by Johnson Books, 2005. "Hell's Half Mile: River Runners' Tales of Hilarity and Misadventure," published by Breakaway Books, 2004. Michele is an enrolled member in the Pembina Clan of Ojibwe of the Turtle Mountain Agency in North Dakota -- home of her father. She is also part Scottish. She draws on both sides of her ancestral heritage to write compassionate, technically correct stories that relate to these two ancient histories.
