Michelle Monet is a multi-faceted creative human being.
Her career began as a singer/songwriter guitarist act in lounges around the Denver area. She progressed to performing her original music in cabaret clubs and concert halls around the US. In 1989 she landed the role as a Barbra Streisand impersonator for the hit show Legends in Concert. She traveled throughout the US appearing in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and Atlantic City, and around the world in countries from Russia to Japan to South Africa.
In 1996, while starring in a production in Sun City, South Africa she suddenly had a passion to switch callings. She began studying visual art. Since then she has sold her art in her gallery/studio and at art shows and festivals. She continues to make and sell her unique creations for happy customers and collectors.
Her upcoming Memoir will be about her life in show business including her surviving domestic violence, panic disorder and a dependency on prescribed medication.
These days you can find Michelle typing away on her next few books and chilling with her five cats and boyfriend Bob in the Smoky Mountains.
This book was fun to read, and yet it still managed to grab my emotions from me, then mix them around, then shove them back inside. It was beautiful.
Some of them spoke to me more than others, which is a common thing, but at one point I literally had to step away from the book because there was this whole part that really got in my skin because I felt like that's the message I kept trying to give people who refused to listen. It was beautiful.
And then there was the ones about writing and the writing process and every single time I got to one of them, I'd reread it right after. Perhaps as a message to myself, perhaps to find clarity. It was beautiful.
Even with such few words, Michelle knows how to convey so much emotion. And it was beautiful. So beautiful that I read the book again right after I finished it, so that I was certain I didn't miss anything. It truly is a beautiful book.
