Michelle M. Bruhn is an independent fantasy author who writes stories about outcasts, hard questions, and heroic hope. She crafts fantasy that explores real-world challenges—from disability representation to the polarization tearing society apart—through fresh, imaginative angles. When she's not building magic systems or developing characters inspired by her cats, Michelle can be found making music, devouring TED Talks to better understand human nature, or pondering personality theories. Her work resonates with readers seeking fantasy that entertains while challenging them to develop empathy for perspectives beyond their own, proving that sometimes the most magical thing fiction can do is help us understand each other better.

Her first series, the Dragon Singer Chronicles, is now complete and binge-able. Perfect for fans of Eragon, Dragonriders of Pern, and the How To Train Your Dragon movies, Songflight and its sequels’ themes of found family and hard‑won peace are sure to give readers an adventure that will stay with them long after the final chapter.
