He lives outside of Toronto with too many notebooks, not enough shelf space, and a running list of ideas that are all, deeply, deeply funny to him. When he isn't writing, Michael can usually be found doing Canadian things--apologizing, remarking on the weather, that sort of thing.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHolmes, Cj:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - CJ Holmes lives in England, where it's cold and damp, and it's always raining--which provides her with enough time to write stories about magic, fantasy and romance. She'd like to escape to somewhere warm but that might mean that she spends too much time sunbathing and not enough time writing books. She lives in a quaint English cottage that would have one of those idyllic gardens if her fingers weren't the opposite of green. Fortunately, her husband doesn't seem to mind that almost everything she tries to grow dies instead. She enjoys drinking wine and gin, which conveniently coincides with her love of reading and writing.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Cj Holmes \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48943907930269,"sku":"9781648986031","price":22.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_5a06fe54-cb4d-444a-80d7-c952779a7cee.jpg?v=1790152699","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/blood-and-bells-9781648986031","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
