Ever the optimist, she wound up writing, then touring the country with her books full of doodles and humorous tales in, "Debutante without a Dress," "Telling Tales," "No Customer Service," "Life Half Undone," &
"DesertTime."
Michaels' lively one-woman shows combine her sketchbook drawings, paintings, edgy story songs in a style remniscent of
Arlo Guthrieand Garrison Keller. The eclectic radioshows have aired on NPR affiliates and commercial stations fromNYto CA.
