Michelle Valentine is an American author, writer, and novelist. She has been a part of the entertainment industry for the majority of her life in many capacities. She's done jingles, radio, theater, film and television & has now cultivated her love for writing. Beating out hundreds of hopefuls, in the early 1990s Michelle was chosen to help revive the pop dance group, The Cover Girls. Although the group was already in existence prior to her arrival with hits like Show Me and Because of You, Michelle not only gave the group new life as the lead vocalist of the Billboard chart topping hit Wishing on a Star, she also wrote the title track of the CD titled Here It Is, igniting her passion for the craft. However, as music changed and the spotlight dimmed, she eventually put down the mic and went on to graduate Cum Laude from Marymount College, earning her Bachelor's Degree in Speech, Drama & Communications, while minoring in Marketing & Creative Writing. As she accomplished her academic goals, she simultaneously created and edited stage plays for the college's drama department, wrote for the campus newspaper, hosted a radio advice show and conceptualized music video treatments. [More at Wikipedia]
