After high school, Rayme Michaels studied theater arts performance and radio broadcasting in college, and then did an Honours BA in philosophy with a minor in psychology. He then went on to complete a master's degree in Eastern and contemporary continental philosophy while working as a teaching assistant.

His first book was released in 2012: an absurdist, Rabelaisian comedy entitled “Incorrigibility.” His second book, released that same year, is a dark, gory, romantic vampire thriller called “Red Love.” It won Honourable Mention at the top of the list for General Fiction at the 2014 London Book Festival. Both books are novellas, as is his fourth book, “Even on Mars,” which is a futuristic, science-fiction sex comedy, released in 2018.

He then went on to complete a master's degree in Eastern and contemporary continental philosophy while working as a teaching assistant.

His first book was released in 2012: an absurdist, Rabelaisian comedy entitled “Incorrigibility.” His second book, released that same year, is a dark, gory, romantic vampire thriller called “Red Love.” It won Honourable Mention at the top of the list for General Fiction at the 2014 London Book Festival. Both books are novellas, as is his fourth book, “Even on Mars,” which is a futuristic, science-fiction sex comedy, released in 2018. His third book, “Screw the Devil’s Daiquiri,” was (and is) his first full-length novel, a semi-autobiographical, dark, urban comedy meets psychological drama, which he wrote in 2012 and which was published in 2014 by Melange Books. In 2019, he released “The Chaos Café,” his second full-length novel, which is also a dark comedy and arguably his most philosophical work thus far. Both novels are very existential and can fit into the genre of magical realism. His first book of short stories, entitled “Spirals of Orange and Black,” was released in 2020, followed by his first book of poetry, “Number Seven and One: Poetry, Prose and Polemics.” In 2023, he published a philosophy paper entitled “Merleau-Ponty and Nagarjuna—Ethics Within the Self of the No-Self” in the “Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour.”

He became a bookworm at the age of eight and has been influenced by, and continues to enjoy, a wide variety of writers that range from the solemn to the satirical, the serious to the jovial, both in fiction and non-fiction, contemporary and old. This invariably comes out in his writing, since his literary interests are very broad.

As an existential thinker, he is fascinated by the human mind and the human predicament, yet, as a Rabelaisian man, laughter and joy are the reasons he gets up in the morning . . . well . . . among other things, of course. Oh, and his first name is pronounced with two syllables. The "e" is not silent.
