About the Author

I’m a writer, traveler, and keeper of memories—both my own and the ones we share across generations. Born in California and raised on the road, I learned early how to find meaning in movement and strength in storytelling.

My books are grounded in real experiences—memoirs drawn from my ever-changing childhood, poetry shaped by life’s seasons, and stories born from an unshakable love for people and place.
When I’m not writing, I run a travel company called Wander Tribe, encouraging others to Just Go—to explore the world and find their own stories along the way.

Writing is how I carry what matters most. Thank you for letting me share it with you.

Testimonials

“This is a great short story book for all ages. I was touched by the sincerity and down to earth story about the difficulties of growing up, particularly when you can't control your own circumstances. All of us have been impacted by the decisions our parents made, for better or worse. Hopefully, we all learned and grew from our experiences. Again, great book!”
Jerry B., Ft. Myers, Florida
“I read your book last night and enjoyed it. I even made some notes: I grew up a lot like you did. I call it “half-feral”. It was a wonderful way to live as a kid, and while my kids experienced some of that, nothing beats the way we grew up. My husband is a Godzilla movie expert. My mother didn’t drive when I was younger either. You and I loved dogs way before the rest of the world caught up with us. Seriously, “Brownie” was a heartfelt and well-written book. I understand the connection you had with Brownie. He was your friend. It was a heartbreaking loss, and you captured all of it. I hope you are continuing to write. You have a good way with words. I found your dedication moving. I have two young grandsons, and I cannot imagine losing one. My sympathies to your family.”

“Mica’s writing took me right back to my own childhood. Her stories are so vivid and honest, I felt like I was riding in the backseat with her family, traveling down those dusty roads. Beautifully written and deeply moving.”
- Sandra P., Reader from Oregon
“These poems spoke straight to my heart. Every line felt like something I didn’t know I needed to hear. Honest, raw, and filled with emotion—this book has a permanent spot on my nightstand.”
- James T., Poet & Teacher
