Michelle Upton in a Brisbane-based author whose first novel ‘Terms of Inheritance’ was shortlisted for the Banjo Prize in 2021.  

A little over 12 months later 'Terms of Inheritance' was published by HarperCollins Australia. 

And I can see why.  With a strong hook and a cast of strong, vibrant female characters, this was one heck of a good story. Hard to believe it was Michelle’s debut, frankly.

Another 12 months on, Michelle’s second book ‘Emergency Exit Only’ was published. 

When I first picked up ‘Emergency Exit Only’ I wondered if it would live up to the spectacular arrival of her debut. And after reading it and LOVING it, I can honestly say it EXCEEDED my expectations. 

It’s a wonderful, feel-good story about second chances and opening yourself up to possibilities.
