Mikalee Byerman

Mikalee is an author, humor essayist, travel writer, speaker and editor. In addition to her book "100 Things to Do in Reno Before You Die" (Reedy Press, 2017), she also is documenting her post-divorce(s) reinvention on her highly controversial, once-contested-in-court blog. This blog — which has bajillions of followers (if “bajillions” means “more than a handful, less than 18 trillion”) — has been featured on the Huffington Post and TIME Magazine's websites, and her writing also has appeared in Ladies’ Home Journal, Southwest Spirit Magazine, Alaska Airlines Magazine and numerous other regional and client publications.

Her sassy and irreverent writing voice has earned her a reputation as being one part Chelsea Handler (without the obsession with little people) and one part Erma Bombeck (without the being dead and whatnot).

During the day, she is VP of Strategy for the Reno-based Estipona Group, a communciations/advertising agency.

Though just a teensy-weensy bit jaded by her blindsiding circumstances, she makes her home in northern Nevada with two crazy-cool teens and one plain-crazy toddler.
