Michael Miele is a dragon, at least on the internet. During the day he wrangles computers with strange runes and magic to support his hoard of to-read books. He writes science-fiction, fantasy, and slice of life themed short stories.

His debut book, Tales of Scales, is a collection of 10 short stories that all have to do with a dragon in some way. He finds dragons and talking animals in general endlessly fascinating. When he's not writing you can find him playing volleyball, painting, or playing board games with friends.

From a cozy room nestled deep within an impossible castle, comes a voice that'd like to say "Curl up with a good book and be kind to yourself."

Tales of Scales

If you’ve been following this profile for a few years, you’ll notice it’s now saying “Michael Miele” instead of “Nenekiri Bookwyrm”. I’ve written under the pen name “Nenekiri Bookwyrm” for the majority of my published work over the years and I will use it again in the future. My publisher suggested I use my legal name for this book and I agreed to go with that. Just know that Michael Miele and Nen Read more of this blog post »

Tales of Scales by Michael Miele
"A positive anthology of stories about dragons. It’s a fun read for any age. As a sci-fi reader, my favorite story was Distress Signal. Dragons in space is a cool idea! If you enjoy fantasy and dragons, you can’t go wrong with this one! "

A lovely read that follows the life of a wolf as he grows from a pup to an adult and the harrowing journey he takes for survival. This is the kind of book where you really get into the dirt of how a wolf lives. Be prepared for multiple parts where Wa ...more

After God, Vol. 1 by Sumi Eno

I feel like the premise for this is quite strong. Gods show up and have the ability to force humans to do as they wish as long as they are making eye contact with them. The designs of the gods and the art in general is very good. The spiraling and in ...more

Finally had a chance to check out Delicious in Dungeon and see what all the hype is about. The premise of the story is one that I haven't seen before and the detailed ecology of the monsters and how they are cooked transported me to this world easily ...more

The use of color and layout in this book is amazing. It would be so easy to lose the characters in a sea of pink crystals but Carey Pietsch does a great job of keeping everything readable. This arc covers a lot of ground and introduces a lot of chara ...more

Wanted to relive the anime a little and always wanted to check out the manga to see how it differed. Combat scenes still hold up all these years later and things move at a much quicker pace compared to the show. Enjoyed the read and wish I too had th ...more

Eat is a manga that caught my eye primarily because I was curious how the author would handle the concept of the desire to be eaten. How that would get explored and how someone comes to have those kinds of desires. Primarily following the wolf profes ...more

Very much enjoyed the breadth of stories that were covered in this collection. Some of them I have read in one form or another but I was pleasantly surprised to find a good few I hadn't come across yet. My biggest complaint is that I feel like some o ...more
