Book Tour: Virtual Sitdown with Michelle Gagnon

Who is Michelle Gagnon?

That’s an excellent question, I’ve often wondered that myself. Depends on the day, really…

What inspires you to write?

I’ve just always loved doing it. I wrote my first book at the age of six. It was a ten-page opus detailing the adventures of a toothbrush named Billy. Once I had that one under my belt, I never looked back.

Boneyard is the second book in my series featuring FBI Special Agent Kelly Jones.

Book Tour: Boneyard by Michelle Gagnon

On the trail of a serial killer, the path splits in two…
