Mica Merrill Rice is a biracial Haitian-American thriller author; crafting stories through the grey areas, seeing the world between Black and white. Her stories are emotionally charged and explore complicated women pushed to their breaking point. She believes a scorned woman is the most frightening creature to roam the earth.

Her writing began with notebooks of dark poetry, scribbled through years of teenage angst, depression, and the ache of wanting to belong. The darkness she wrote through back then still pulses through her work now. Older. Sharper. And far more dangerous...

A lifelong summer resident of the Hudson Valley's haunted woods, Mica now pens her novels from a dimly lit, coffee-fueled cave in Florida, often with Philip Glass echoing in the background. She's a wife, a boy-mom, dog-mom to Denver, and proud Nona to an outrageously spoiled grand-cat named Oliver. When she's not writing, she's reading obsessively, wandering new places, or behind the mic for her podcast.

And when she travels, she's always taking notes because you never know where pain can become power on the page.

A town that never forgets. A killer who hides in plain sight. A secret that refuses to stay buried.

He thinks he is seeking closure. Instead, he finds a trap.

Brandon Arroyo-Stone has spent two decades haunted by unanswered questions about his father’s death, his mother’s disappearance, and the why behind his recurring dream. When a lead takes him back to his secluded hometown in the Hudson Valley, he thinks he’s finally ready to uncover the truth.

A town built on silence.

Brandon and his best friend arrive to meet the locals in the “idyllic” town of Greenville, who haven’t forgotten the Arroyo-Stone family. And they will stop at nothing to keep the past buried, especially an outsider who is trying to dig it up. On his quest to find answers to his mother’s unsolved case, Brandon’s best friend goes missing, and the nightmare becomes his reality.

The dream is no longer a string of hazy images—it’s a map.

Guided by the cryptic scenes of the woman in his dreams, Brandon must navigate a labyrinth of small-town lies. But someone is watching from deep in the woods—someone who has been waiting twenty years to finish what they started.

In these woods, the truth doesn’t set you free. It buries you.

Deep in the Woods is a psychological thriller that blends small-town secrets with a haunting supernatural twist. Perfect for fans of atmospheric dread set in the fall, cold cases, and fast-paced reads that can be devoured in a weekend.
