Michelle Jabès Corpora

Michelle Jabès Corpora crafts stories that dance on the edge of myth and history, inviting readers into worlds where ancient legends meet contemporary voices. Raised just outside Washington, D.C., her fascination with mythology—especially Ancient Egyptian lore—shapes her imaginative landscapes. This passion culminates in her upcoming YA fantasy trilogy, Throne of Khetara, which promises a vibrant blend of magic, political intrigue, and romance, anchored by the debut His Face Is the Sun.

Before stepping into the limelight with her own name, she spent years behind the scenes as a ghostwriter for a popular middle-grade mystery series, sharpening her ability to weave suspense and character-driven plots. Her historical sensibility also shines in The Dust Bowl and The Fog of War: Martha Gellhorn at the D-Day Landings, where she explores resilience and human spirit through meticulously researched narratives.

Her background in theatre and children’s literature, combined with her editorial work developing series fiction, gives her stories a thoughtful rhythm and depth. Outside the page, Michelle is a martial artist, wielding discipline and focus from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which quietly informs the strength and complexity of her characters.

Living in Maryland with her family and a small menagerie of pets, Michelle’s writing reflects a life rich with curiosity and connection—whether through epic fantasy realms or the echoes of history. For readers seeking stories that blend mythical grandeur with emotional honesty, her work offers a quietly powerful escape.
