Michelle Chance is a children's book author who loves to weave magic and learning into her stories. Inspired by her own children's endless curiosity and fascination with the world around them, she created the "Viktor the Viking and Pippa the Pixie" series to foster a love of STEM in young readers. When she's not writing, Michelle can be found exploring the outdoors with her family, searching for hidden treasures in tide pools, or gazing at the stars. In her "other life," she's an executive engineering leader, building technology products and empowering engineers on her teams. She believes that every day holds the potential for adventure and discovery, whether it's in the pages of a book or the world of technology.
