Michelle Lindsey

Michelle Lindsey is a high school English teacher who works hard to instill a love of all literature in her students. She enjoys writing creative nonfiction and flash fiction with a few pieces of each making their way into publications, but science fiction and the fantastic worlds created within it wasn't a genre that came easy. With a lot of self-deprecating and redos, she produced her first science fiction piece, "Body Scanning." Comments: The idea for the story started when her niece tried to explain the type of hurt she was experiencing in her head. She struggled to understand the extent of the pain and where it came from when the details were explained by a six-year-old. The question of "what if?" led to the idea for this story.
