We Never Danced to a Love Psalm

Born in The Bronx, Michelle De Leon graduated from the City College of New York with a Bachelor’s in English/Creative Writing in 1989. In love with writing since her elementary school days, De Leon was a student in the Performing Arts Class at P.S. 85 where she penned her first short story and first full length play. It would be many years before her art took a professional turn. In 2000, De Leon self-published her first novel, Once Upon a Family Tree. In 2002, bestselling author Zane offered her a contract with her newly founded company, Strebor Books International. In 2003, Missed Conceptions was the first release. In 2004, Love to the Third and Once Upon a Family Tree were published. Strebor Books International eventually became an imprint under the Simon & Schuster umbrella and they still have the rights to these works today. In 2009, De Leon released Broken Bands of Gold: Restoring the Covenant on her own. It is her first non-fiction book and is an Inspirational guide and a personal testimonial about standing with Jesus for marriage restoration. It is available via CreateSpace.com and Amazon.com. She also wrote Inspirational novel We Never Danced to a Love Psalm and Young Adult novel Evangie’s Fortune. An avid reader from the beginning, De Leon became interested in writing as a way of expressing her ideas and sharing her imagination. After four novels, a collection of novellas and one non-fiction piece, she has turned her attention and talents towards playwriting. She has written Like a Psalm Out of Tune which is based on the novel We Never Danced of a Love Psalm. She is also working on 3 Bethel’s Way; an Inspirational sequel to the super sensual novella Love to the Third. A Christian who believes her God given talent should be used to advance the Kingdom, she is developing a ministry play based on the Word she received while composing Broken Bands of Gold. Never one to get bogged down and/or pigeon holed into one genre, Michelle De Leon hopes one day to excel as a screenwriter. Or whatever else her heart desires.
