Mry Contreras

Mry Contreras is the author of the memoirs Still Glowing: My Journey to Unconditional Self-Love, Through the Darkness, and Matriarchs: The Magic and the Wreckage, and the pet guide Good Dogs. She is now turning to fiction, with Let Me Tell You A Story: Bedtime Stories for Grownups, a collection of fourteen fictional short stories (November 2026), and Soulmates, a short romance (February 2027). Her work explores resilience, self-examination, family history, love, and the long arc of rebuilding a life with intention, in both memoir and fiction.

Her writing is deeply informed by family history and generational experience: the relationships, losses, patterns, and inheritances that shape a person over time. She is divorced, the mother of two grown children, and a grandmother of five. These experiences, and the passage of life through them, strongly influence her exploration of memory, endurance, and change.

Mry owns a pet care business in Los Angeles, where she lives and works. She shares her stories through books, videos, and writing projects.
