A little bit about me.

As for myself, my name is Michaila Oberhoffer and I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm always drawn to philosophical theories and writing about anything that considers the development of sociological structures as the backbone of my novels. I grew up finding myself intrigued by everything around me and this caused me to bounce around different careers from teaching to culinary school and anything of interest in between but when I picked up writing again seven years ago I realized who I was and what I was truly passionate about. When all is said and done for the day, I love nothing more than sitting back on a Foggy day in the Bay Area, drinking a beer and cuddling up with my seventeen year old cat Taffy.

The Root Of John’s Happiness

John never questioned why things happened around him the way they did. Why everyone wore the same shade of grey, why every lawn was manicured to be exactly ‘3 quarter inches. He especially didn’t seem to notice the small little detail that he among everyone else in Meno for that matter, were always, and without fault smiling yet nothing significant ever occurred. That however was all about to change when a young free-spirited woman ran into him at the Muni station. Who would have thought a stupid piece of paper containing a single sentence would change everything. A sentence that addressed a simple question that no one ever asked.

In a world where questioning has been deemed harmful, and happiness comes in a little white pill, John begins to find his smile quickly fading, to be replaced with the one thing Meno feared above all else, a need for answers.

At the end of the day I’m just another Author trying to stay sane. Looking for enlightenment, happy to settle for humor and an ice cold beer.

Writing Mood.

Ever wonder what music the Author listens to when they write? What drives the background ambiance that lead to their novels? Music is one of my love languages so settle in, press play and write with me to some of my favorite lo-fi songs.

Or read some of my work while listening, I highly encourage that as well….
