As a child Riley would spend most of
her time reading every book she could carry home from the school library.
She admits, “Being a writer was a fairytale for some else’s life. Then
I found a story that needed to be told.” Riley left West Virginia to join the Army in 1981 and quickly realized that the quiet life of West Virginia was very different than the screaming platoon sergeant. She decided early
in her military career that she would go to college and that law was her
first career choice. During her college years and after
completion of her active duty tour during the Gulf War, she supported
herself in a variety of healthcare positions. She plans on retiring from
the Army Reserves this year and smiles as she says, “It was the best job
and career I have ever had. I love my country.” Nearly twenty six years later Riley
has completed a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and a Master of
Business Administration degree. She has been practicing as a Registered
Nurse for almost twenty years and is the CEO of her own Professional
Development Company. Riley began to pursue writing when she
was had the misfortune of spending time in a local court room. Research
revealed increasing rates of plea bargaining and malicious prosecution.
“I have always been an advocate for people in need. When your right to
speak for yourself is prevented, something has to be done. The story must
be told, everyone has a story. Writing has become something I am
passionate about and I am working on two other fiction novels.” Riley lives near the Eastern Shore of
Virginia. She has a son (born in 1977) and a Labrador retriever.
When not writing, Michaela gardens, cooks, and enjoys the outdoors
with her family. Her favorite pastime is spent reading, going to movies or
walking on the beach. Michaela's blog: http://authormichaelariley.blogspot.com/
