Michelle L. Cullen

Michelle L. Cullen has lived and traveled all over the world: from working as a bilingual secretary in Paris to backpacking around Europe, Central America, and Southern Africa, to helping rebuild communities after war throughout Africa, East Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific—where she saw the best and worst of human behavior. Her lifelong fascination with people, and why they do what they do, was further fueled by her academic training. She obtained her Ph.D. from the London School of Economics' Sociology Department and her master’s degree in Anthropology from Melbourne University in Australia. 

A fan of adventure, she has a black belt in Taekwondo, has summited 900 feet rock climbing, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef, and hiked up an active volcano. She currently lives in Annapolis, Maryland, where she’s either doing yoga, playing outside, or plotting murder. She’s a proud member of International Thriller Writers, Sisters in Crime, and Mystery Writers of America, and has been gleefully reading and watching murder mysteries since the age of ten.
