Michelle Dim-St. Pierre was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, where she spent more than half of her life before relocating to the United States.
She lived through four wars and served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years. She served her first year in an armored division in the Golan Heights, and her second year in the medical corps where she interacted directly with the injured soldiers of the Peace of Galilee war and their families. This interaction, along with the exposure to the hospital atmosphere,fascinated Michelle and further touched her heart. She went on to get a BS degree in Nursing in Tel Aviv and practiced internationally for 32 years in various positions in the surgical field and quickly advanced into health care administration. Writing was Michelle’s outlet at first, but it soon became her passion. Now, she is a full-time writer. Her international back- ground, along with her military and nursing experience, are always at the tip of her pen. Her first novel, Pinnacle Lust, started the Pinnacle trilogy and won nine awards invarious contests, including Best Romance and Best General Fiction Book at the 2015 Beach Book Contest. Bloody Coffee, the second in the trilogy, also won Honorable Mention at Paris Book Festival, New York Book Festival, London Book Festival, and Florida Book Festival. Both were published to rave reviews. Michelle is a world traveler who enjoys cooking epicurean food and creating original recipes. With her creativity, she merged her cooking and writing and is working on a companion cook- book. She currently splits her time between Florida and Georgia, where she is at work on her next projects, the Pinnacle trilogy and its companion cookbook, and an unrelated novel, FALLING LEAVES. |
