In 2012, Michelle completed a manuscript of short stories (both fiction and creative non-fiction), God Is A Dog (lost & found in Paris), which explores the fairytale in the ordinary, the re-membering of passion in grief and the hidden found while lost in the streets of Paris.  She has read many of these stories at several different venues throughout Massachusetts, including Wellfleet Preservation Hall.
