About the Author
From the Streets of Harlem to Powerful Storytelling
Mike M. is Harlem, born and bred. Raised by his grandmother in the tough streets of New York, he learned early what it meant to hustle and survive. By the age of 20, life took a hard turn, landing him a long stretch in an upstate correctional facility.
It was there, in the quiet of his cell, that Mike found his true calling: storytelling. With pen and paper, he began turning pain, lessons, and life experiences into powerful narratives that spoke to the realities of struggle, resilience, and redemption. His debut, Brenda’s Baby Part 1, quickly resonated with readers, followed by the gripping sequel, Brenda’s Baby Part 2. Now, with his highly anticipated Crumbs to Bricks, Mike continues to deliver stories that are as real as the streets that shaped him—raw, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
