About the Author

Michelle Douglas is an author and illustrator who lives in Berkshire, UK with her Husband Steve, their dog Butler and their cat Dolly Pompom.

Before becoming the creator of the Ting series of children’s books Michelle worked in property and financial services. Ongoing health issues meant Michelle had to leave banking and finance.  She enrolled at Farnham University for the Creative Arts in 2022 and is currently undertaking a BA(Hons) degree in animation and illustration and is now pursuing her lifelong passion.  You can follow her progress on: https://instagram.com/michelledouglas_2215236.

In addition to the Ting story books, Michelle sells and exhibits her artwork, undertakes commissions, gives art lessons at her home and loves doing event sketching where she captures the feel of the event on paper.

Michelle and her Husband are keen travellers and recreational divers. Being particularly fascinated by the undersea world, Michelles artwork in these books depicts the animals and locations seen during their holidays.

In addition to her art Michelle loves singing and is part of an acoustic duo.
