About the Author
Michele Packard writes like she talks—with just enough sarcasm to make you smirk and squirm at the same time. An award-winning, multi-genre author, Packard is best known for her snarky, high-stakes thrillers that blend conspiracy, chaos, and current events. But she’s not afraid to slow down the pace and get personal, especially when sharing stories that open conversations around mental health, addiction, and grief.
Her background? Military kid turned cable TV exec turned full-time mom—and now, full-throttle storyteller. Her family dubbed her “AESOP” for her tendency to exaggerate (okay, lie creatively), and she’s proudly living up to the name. Whether she’s writing fiction that reads like Bourne meets The Americans, or raw nonfiction that hits where it hurts, Packard keeps readers hooked with her wit, grit, and brutal honesty.
Her books have been recognized by the American Book Festival, BestThrillers.com, Pencraft Awards, and Writer’s Digest, among others. But her favorite accolades come from readers who say, “I stayed up all night reading,” or, “You put into words what I’ve felt for years.”
