Born and educated in England, I  loved history as a child and was fascinated with the Regency. It has all the glamour and glitz of high society and yet is modern enough to be familiar some two hundred years later.

When I moved to Canada, e-mail was still in the future and I spent many hours writing letters home and thereby honing my writing and story telling skills. Since I have always made up stories in my head, imagine the thrill of realizing that not only could I write those stories down, but that other people enjoyed reading them.

After finaling in the American Title contest run by Dorchester and Romantic Times, I have published three full length novels and two short stories as Michele Ann Young, all but one of them Regencies, and two as Ann Lethbridge.

I  live and write in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada with my husband and two beautiful girls. Each summer I return to England with my husband to visit family and  research my next novel.
