Michele M. Feeney

Michele Feeney is an award-winning writer and lawyer, teacher, wife, and mother. She resides in Arizona and in Michigan, where she owns part of a Christmas tree farm her ancestors homesteaded in 1850. Michele pursued her passion for creative writing for 20 years before she earned an MFA from Bennington College in 2022. Having raised five children (biological and adopted) and welcomed two grandchildren, Michele made navigating the COVID-19 pandemic a family affair. While doing so, she remembered a story told to her by her grandmother and was inspired to imagine how families and community members in rural Michigan navigated their way through the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918. That story inspired her first novel, Like Family, scheduled for release by Black Rose Writing in August 2024. Michele is currently at work on several projects, including Volume Two of the Like Family Series.
