I’m Michelle Cooper, the author of The Rage of Sheep and The Montmaray Journals. This blog is where I talk about books, writing and language. I’ve just finished writing my final Montmaray Journals novel, which is set during the Second World War, so quite a lot of my blog ramblings are about Britain in the 1930s and 1940s. However, I also talk about writing in general, writing for teenagers in particular, and anything else that interests me.

For those looking for me in other places on the Internets: I’m not on Facebook, because I don’t like their privacy policies; I’m not on Twitter, because I’d find it impossible to write anything in fewer than 140 characters; I’m not on Goodreads, because I don’t like the idea of rating books from one to five; and I’m not on [insert latest social media phenomenon] because I haven’t heard of it. Sorry. I do, however, welcome letters sent to me by pigeon or owl.
