Biography

Michelle Dunne

Born and raised in the harbour town of Cobh, County Cork, Ireland, Michelle Dunne joined in Irish army at the age of 18, where she went from recruit, to infantry soldier, to Peacekeeper with the UN, to instructor back home in Ireland.

During her time in Lebanon, as tracer rounds lit up the sky above her and artillery rained down, she got to experience first hand the camaraderie between soldiers and the sense of humour that got them all through some frightening situations. She also got to experience how ordinary families tried to live in conflict zones and these experiences have inspired so much of her work to date.

THE INVISIBLE is Michelle's fourth book, but the second in the Lindsey Ryan series, following on from WHILE NOBODY IS WATCHING, which is currently in development for television and inspired by her military experiences and the types of relationships that form within army ranks.

A semi-inflated football and a curious little girl. They called it peacekeeping. For Corporal Lindsey Ryan, it was anything but. It’s been three years since that bright day in the Golan Heights and the explosion that killed two and changed the survivors forever. Now Lindsey deals with the many problems of the city’s troubled youth, to distract her from her own. But as damp days turn to night, the kids return home --- or somewhere like it --- and she returns to her own private war. Certain that she’s being watched and certain that she’s losing her mind, Lindsey battles with the demons of post-traumatic stress, while a very real threat edges ever closer until she finds herself face to face with someone who wants nothing more than to finally help her to die. And it’s the last person she ever could have seen coming.
