| Biography | Michelle Denise (Sorrell, nee Meyer) is a Swiss/Australian, who migrated to Sydney in 1958. Michelle’s first foray into writing was in 1986 with her bilingual “Mimi Adventure Books” for teaching LOTE to primary students in Western Australia. In 1994, she joined a working party to develop and publish a French/Art language kit (Bleu, Blanc, Rouge) for the National Gallery of Victoria and the Ministry of Education in Victoria. She facilitated exchanges between Western Australian schools and schools in Indonesia, France and The Cousteau Institute in Paris. '96, '97 and ’98. Michelle and Geoff Bebb met back in Western Australia where they collaborated on their first joint work “The Purple Pooze”, which is a children’s environmental book, published by Kreative Image Technology (KIT) in South Perth. This book was sold to local libraries and schools throughout WA as well as in the UK, Canada, Switzerland and France. In 2000 Michelle and Geoff travelled to France to work with French school students in Besançon, using the book as a tool to enhance environmental awareness. In 1999, they joined the WA Bush Poets and Yarn Spinners Association, where they became co-editors of the Association’s magazine. Their membership triggered many new poems, finding their way into the books “G’Day (Geoff)”, and “Fun Fur and Feathers” (Michelle) published by KIT. These books are already into their third printing. They have been distributed to local clubs and libraries as well as to Canada, the UK and Switzerland. Her first novel “Fragments” – 2006 and latest novel “Gecko Deflection” – 2009, were written in collaboration with Geoff Bebb. They now give presentations and workshops to groups throughout WA and interstate, highlighting their work and collaborative techniques using an 'egobucket' as a tool to create a 'safe space' environment for creating together. They have coined the process working 'synegoistically'.They are in the process of writing their third co-authored novel '84 Ladies' due out in 2011. See www.egobucket.com for more details. |
