Hi! I'm Mia--author, wife, and semi-serious mom to three gentlemen. I live in Northern Virginia by way of Detroit, San Francisco, and Paris.

I talk a lot, but I watch more and what you see here are my observations of life. Over the past twelve years, I've published over seventeen novels under various pen names, and they have been translated into multiple languages. So, yeah, I write and write and write--sometimes more successfully than others. My memoir and some of my novels can be found here.

My articles have appeared on YourTango, MamaMia, Scary Mommy, PS I Love You, and Human Parts.

I also struggle with bipolar 2 depression, but I'm fortunate to have a wonderful support system that fights for me when I can't.

And for fun...I made this picture into a t-shirt for my college-aged son with the caption, "What Would Mom Do?" He actually wears it!
