Meet Michelle J. Mann, author of “Everything Good That Happened” and “Something Good In The Dust”

Tell us what your book, “Everything Good That Happened,” is about!

Sure! Here’s the summary: 

Sydney has had a streak of bad luck, and she blames herself for everything that has happened. Recently divorced and looking forward to a fresh start with her two young children, she has absolutely zero intentions of entering the dating world anytime soon, especially with the uncertainty of her ex's whereabouts and intentions looming over her. Men in general? Totally over them.

Fate intervenes when Sydney's cousin drags her to a bar for a night out, and they meet Will, the devilishly charming DJ. Will has had his own misfortune, and he just goes with the flow, unmotivated to change his life for the better... until Sydney unintentionally wiggles her way into his heart. As for Sydney, her determination to avoid romance at all costs slowly crumbles as Will's easy-going nature gives her a new change in perspective. 

And what about “Something Good In The Dust”?

Impulsive and carefree, 32-year-old Lilly spends her days running a bakery and daydreaming about her next travel destination. But what she yearns for, more than anything, is finding someone she can be her true, quirky self around. And in small-town Willow Creek, the chances of finding her match are slim to none.

That is, until Kade, a reserved but sexy police officer, comes to town, searching for an escape from his past. Jaded and trying to remain a loner, all he wants is to start a new, quiet life in sleepy Willow Creek.

But when Kade pulls Lilly over one night, it sparks a string of quirky run-ins that eat away at his reserved nature. When the dust storm rolls in, they end up on a collision course, and she becomes an irresistible light in his bleak world. As for Lilly… this uniform-clad, unadventurous man makes her giddy in the best ways. In a windstorm of subpar driving skills, unfortunate sourdough decisions, and questionable pet choices, Kade and Lilly find that opposites really do attract.
