D Michelle Gent  

Picture
Michelle was born in the middle of Derbyshire and moved to the middle of Nottinghamshire.

She has always loved the weird and wonderful, iconic horror and urban fantasy, and one day, she decided to write the story she wanted to read, and her beloved character, 'Red' from the Wolf series of novels was 'born'.

Red's story was soon joined by a seven short-story set written about dystopian half-demon teenager 'Dusty'.

The story of Ash became a tale that she wanted to write, but seemed to be able to put off for another day, until Ash would no longer be put off.

Between writing Ash and starting, but not completing other tales, such as 'Biker', 'Daughters of Le Fey', and 'Finlay Moran', Michelle also wrote a short story anthology - 13 

After a life-altering operation to remove cancer, she and her husband, plus an ark's worth of animals moved to the middle of France.

After a couple of years taking it easy and making sure her recovery was sustainable, Michelle reconnected with her love of reading and writing. Ash and the Favour Man was published and entered into The People's Book Prize competition. 

Ash and The Favour Man won the 2024 Frederick Forsythe award for Fiction, much to Michelle's delight.

This autumn, Ash makes her return:

Ash and the Faceless Man is released on 10th September.

Michelle has worked on several movies with Reality Films and Chemical Burn (The Stone, Paranormal Haunting) and is currently writing a film script for them. Michelle is currently producing a film, EXORCIST CHRONICLES  with award winning director Philip Gardiner.

Ash and the Faceless Man
​Ash is getting into trouble again. 

This time, it's on behalf of other kids, mostly. She knows the score, she's been there, done that, got the t-shirt and now she's going in to do battle - again.

Ash has to use her experience and knowledge gained over the past few years - half her life - and figure out who she can trust and who really is all about looking after her best interests. The people she and other kids should be able to rely upon to safeguard their interests don't always come up to scratch. Ash's job - whether she chooses to accept it or not - is to weed out the ones with ulterior motives and make sure they don't harm any more kids.

Penny Dreadfuls - Thirteen tales of horror and suspense.

Unlucky Thirteen stories and poems to give you chills and pause for thought. Bite-sized stories from vampires to B.E.Ks and beyond with the added extra of 'Penny Dreadful' two-sentence horror stories to keep you awake at night.
D Michelle Gent weaves stories of horror and suspense in bite-sized chunks to leave a lingering sense of dread when the sun starts to set. When the subconscious realises it will soon be dark, memories of Dark Images, The Hunger and The Last Vampire send icy fingers of worry and doubt tickling up the spine and into the dark recesses of tribal memory.

DEADLIER... than the MALE

What do you know about the society you live in? What other societies share the same living space as you? None? Guess again. Werewolves are make-believe, they don’t exist. They are legends from times gone by when science was as accurate as horoscopes are today – but even horoscopes can hold a truth. You think you know your neighbours, your town and your surroundings; but everyone has a secret, some are darker than others. Hide in plain sight. Keep everyone in the dark; give nothing away. Leave no witnesses. These are the rules governing a society that exists within our own. Despite what you believe, Werewolves are real. They live amongst us and have fought for and against us for millennia. 
Legends of Wolves roaming the lands which were once named Sherwood Forest are just stories... Aren't they? Tell that to the young women who have been brutalised, their skin and flesh shredded from their bones with the finesse of a skilled and ruthless butcher. He made sure the girls were going to die, but later rather than sooner. A sadistic attacker is on the loose – could the cure be worse than the symptom? 
You don’t believe it? 
Not in this day and age? 
Guess again.

CRUEL and UNUSUAL

JACK THE RIPPER What really happened to him
Victorian London and in a very short time, the inhabitants of the slums of Whitechapel will find that they have a bigger worry than the usual deprivation, disease and crime. 
There's a killer in town but not just any killer, he likes tearing his victims apart, feeling their terror as well as their entrails! 
Jack The Ripper is his adopted nickname and he certainly lives up to it! 
The part of the Wolf Society that inhabits these streets and the ones in close proximity to Whitechapel are also concerned. If the murderer is not captured shortly, he'll draw attention of the unwanted kind, the kind that may dig deeper than the Wolves would like - deeper than they can afford. If the Hume Police Force should find evidence of Werewolf activity, Wolves will find themselves the hunted once again. Chased from England's shores as they were once before. 
Chased or eradicated. 
Hazel must decide whether her Sentinels should find the murderer or allow the Police to find him - but if her suspicions are correct that he is a Throwback and the Police do find him first, then the Werewolf society will be hunted and eradicated anyway!

In the meantime Dusty travels from this world to the Astral Plane and her adventures are legendary... amongst her friends at least.

 Dusty the Demon Hunter Trouble x 3

Something is disturbing Dusty’s sleep and she wants to know what – or who – it is.

A vampire wants her help – it seems odd that such a powerful being should need the help of a half-demon but Dusty is curious and she and Hunter make preparations for their safety before going along with the plan.

The plan is not exactly as it would seem and Dusty soon realises that when dealing with vampires, it’s best to stay alert and at a safe distance.

Dusty the Demon Hunter Doppelganger

Dusty's fifth adventure.

Hunter is puzzled, Dusty’s not well and getting worse, but each time he sees her, it’s like she’s a different person. One minute she’s the same feisty girl he’s used to and the next, she’s a flirtatious thief!

Split personality or something far more sinister?
