BIO

“Tell me a story,” has been my question since birth.

Since I love them so much, what better way to share the fun and interesting things I've learned than in writing stories myself?

I'm a “retired” Navy wife who has lived all over the United States, including Hawai’i.

Raised in San Pedro, California, a melting pot of many languages and cultures, I've traveled the world meeting people and laughing my way through ridiculous circumstances.

I love history, music, books, reading, my terrific family, amusing friends, travel opportunities, and irony.

A New York Times and ECPA bestselling author of five novellas and a Navy SEAL novel, I'm the biographer of Mrs. Oswald Chambers and Lettie Cowman, as well as an essayist in Utm

I keep writing; even if it isn't very good, I keep typing in the words. You put in enough hours, something will turn up.

Or, I give it up and take a walk, read a book, spend time with my family. Sometimes you need to clear you head and let "the boys in the basement," do their magic. http://michelleule.com/2012/02/17/fin...(less)

A London Visit Filled with Memories

My London visit in April 2026 was my first since 2015.

It was, however, my seventh London visit, and I looked forward to it a great deal.

My daughter and I visited the usual spots: the London theater, the Tower of London, the National Gallery of Art, and various rides on the Tube.

But as I wrote about our Tower of London visit, ghosts and memories stalked the streets.

I kept looking for places and peo

While the idea was interesting, this novel didn't work very well for me. The British sections included irritating people whose behavior eventually made sense--but not really. It dragged.

I’m not sure why Night Watch won the 1924 Pulitzer because it’s not easy to read— the narrative is confusing and the novel doesn’t use quotation marks, for some reason.

Still, an unusual post-Civil War novel about the challenges/horrors that shifted t

This book is best read by runners. I read it because I've followed the Halls' story for years--I live near where Sara grew up.

I don't understand extreme athletes like Hall. I walk, I don't run!

Topics Mentioning This Author

Tony Horwitz
“There are people one knows and people one doesn't. One shouldn't cheapen the former by feigning intimacy with the latter.”
― Tony Horwitz, Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War

Oswald Chambers
“God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God. ”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing...Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation.”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Updated Edition
