Michele L. Hinton
Who is Michele Hinton? Well, there's not a lot to tell. I'm a Kentucky girl who likes to delve into the imagination and write about what's in there. One could say my inspiration for writing was Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan, but my all time favorite books he wrote are his John Carter series of books. When I was young, my mother used to read those books to my father and I would listen with an on the edge of my seat fascination.
I'm not just a one genre author. My works include Action/Adventure, Humorous Horror, Thrillers, Poetry, Children's Stories, Short Stories, Fantasy, with more to come. I never know what I'm going to dig out of the attic in my mind when I sit down to write. If you decided to read some of my work, I hope I entertained you.
Other than writing, I held a 4th degree black belt in TaeKwonDo in my younger days, I play a little guitar, went back to college to get my Bachelor's Degree in Business in 2013 at age 56. That's me in a nut shell.

The Poet’s Moon
An excerpt from the poem, The Poet’s Moon.
I sit upon the shore bathed in the light of the poet’s moon.
The quiet of the evening is broken by the whispering of the tide.
A zephyr carried upon the waves caresses my cheek as a lovers touch.
I close my eyes and listen to the symphony of the sea.
