MICHELE GUINNESS - A BIOGRAPHY

Brought up in a practising Jewish family, Michele Guinness has worked as a presenter,
researcher and writer for national TV and radio, and for two years presented her own
three-hour, daily lunchtime programme on BBC local radio.

When she moved to Lancashire she became press officer for a children’s hospice, moved to the NHS two years later to become a communications manager, then eventually Head of Communications for the whole of the NHS in Cumbria and Lancashire. She gave it up at the last government reshuffle three years ago to concentrate on writing, training and
speaking.

For two years Michele had a monthly cookery column in Woman Alive Magazine, and continues to contribute regularly to several magazines and newspapers, including Families First, Christianity and The Church of England Newspaper.

She has written eleven books, mainly biographical, mainly from her uniquely Jewish perspective - except her biography of the Guinness family, (The Genius of Guinness,
Ambassador), which tells the story of her husband’s famous brewing, banking and missionary ancestors.
Woman the Full Story, Zondervan, was published in 2004.
The Heavenly Party: Recovering the Fun - Celebrations for Home and Community, published in October 2006 by Monarch, is a guide to celebration - at home or in the community.
Chosen, published in 2007, is a re-write and update of her best-selling autobiography, Child of the Covenant, (over 350,000 sold) first published 25 years ago. and A Little Kosher Seasoning.
Her latest book, Autumn Leave - A Season in France, the diary of a three month sabbatical, about the pleasures and pitfalls of buying a house in France will be published by Authentic in July, 2009.

Michele is a regular speaker at New Wine and Spring Harvest. She has also spoken at Greenbelt, ECG, Detling and the National Gathering of the Church of Scotland – as well as for secular organisations such as the WI and Rotary.

She is married to Peter, Vicar of St Thomas’ Lancaster, and has a grown up son and daughter, and two small grandchildren.
