About Michael Davis
Michael Davis is the kind of storyteller who makes you feel like you’re sitting across the table from him, coffee in hand, soul wide open. Raised in Tampa, seasoned by military and government service, and now finally retired, Michael brings the depth of lived experience to every word he writes. He’s spent a lifetime listening, learning, and quietly observing, and now, with his first book, Me, he’s chosen to speak.
This isn’t just his debut as an author. It’s a declaration: healing is possible, honesty is strength, and love is still the answer.
About
the Book: !Me
!Me is more than a memoir; it’s Michael Davis’s reckoning with the shadows of his past and a quiet declaration that healing is possible.
The book traces his journey from a boy starved of encouragement to a man learning to rise from the ashes, like the blue phoenix he so often invokes. Along the way, he speaks plainly about trauma, racism, bullying, and the long silences that follow pain no one wants to talk about.
However, the story doesn’t end with a struggle. Through counseling, coaching youth basketball, and finding solace in travel, Michael began piecing himself back together. Each chapter is both a confession and a release, written with the hope that others, especially men who rarely permit themselves to heal, might see themselves in his words.
!Me isn’t polished perfection. It’s scars and laughter, setbacks and small triumphs. It’s a reminder that survival, at its core, is its own kind of victory.

His message is simple yet profound: healing begins the moment we choose to be seen.
