Welcome to Fern Michaels

Santa's Secret - #11 New York Times Best Seller!

Kensington Publishing mourns the loss of Fern Michaels, legendary bestselling author, animal lover, and dear friend. Fern was a wonderfully spirited and generous woman, granting scholarships and donating bullet-proof vests to K-9 dogs across the country, all while writing the romances and thrillers readers have cherished for decades. It has been our honor and joy to share her stories and warmth with you for more than 30 years.

Our hearts go out to her family and loved ones.

Hello and Welcome!

Dear Friends of Fern,

Thank you for visiting the official Fern Michaels website.

We are here to honor her legacy, her kindness, and her tremendous contribution to women’s fiction, and hope we can keep you engaged in her prolific writing achievements.

This month CODE BLUE #37 in the Sisterhood Series is being released.  Here’s a quick summary of the novel:

The Sisterhood: a group of women from all walks of life bound by friendship and years of adventure. Armed with vast resources, top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not rest until every wrong is made right.

Theresa Gallagher has never met her Aunt Dottie, though she remembers her mother’s stories about the wild sister who left home at seventeen. When a letter arrives from one of Dottie’s neighbors, telling Theresa that her aunt is now incapacitated at Sunnydale, a nursing home, in Arizona, Theresa decides to travel to see her. From the minute she stepped into the complex things didn’t sound or look right. Soon the Sisterhood is on the case, uncovering evidence that at Sunnydale centers all over the country, seniors are mistreated, duped, and drained of their savings. But no one is beyond justice—not when the Sisterhood’s extraordinary women are involved, making wrongs right as only they can.

We are also running a contest this month. Three winners will each receive a copy of CODE BLUE. So be sure you enter.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will return again.

Wishing you a blessed holiday and a happy, healthy, New Year.

If you’re like me, technology can be a little confusing.  Okay, a lot confusing, so here’s a little more info to help you navigate.

We put all my books from 2025 on the 2025 page and all the upcoming releases on the 2026 page.
