Biography

Personal life

Michele Jaffe was born on March 20, 1970 in Los Angeles, California. She obtained a Ph.D. in comparative literature from Harvard. When she retired from academia, she dreamed to become either an FBI special agent or a glamorous showgirl, but somehow ended up writing[1]. Jaffe married and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada with her disco ball, and her zebra wall-to-wall carpeting.

Writing career

The Stargazer, 1999

After writing a book on the Renaissance, she decided to foray into fiction, starting with a romance novel set in the Renaissance. The debut novel, The Stargazer, was published in 1999, initiating a four-book saga of historical fiction.

Soon afterward, she left the historical atmosphere, moving to suspense thrillers such as Lover Boy and Bad Girl in 2003.

She then wrote her first Young Adult book, Bad Kitty, published in January 2006, and he following month, it was named Book of the Month in the Meg Cabot Book Club. The next year, she published Kiss and Tell which was included in the anthology Prom Nights from Hell. In 2008, she wrote Kitty Kitty, the sequel of Bad Kitty, and the same year was published its graphic novel, Catnipped.

Jaffe is friends with bestselling Young Adult author Meg Cabot; they occasionally blogged advice columns together on Cabot's website. Thus persisted until Jaffe got her own Young Adult website. Now, she writes advice blogs on her own site more frequently.
