I am a weirdo.
If you didn’t know that already, you do now.
I’ve been writing for over thirty years, the last fifteen or so more seriously. It took me a while to really find my writing voice, mainly because I was convinced that I wasn’t good enough to write horror. Except when I dabbled in dark fantasy, I realized that it had way more horror elements in it than I consciously put there. I was leaning toward the horror genre without even realizing it.
When I joined Wattpad in 2015 is when I really started giving horror a try, mainly with short writing challenges for things like drabbles (100 word short stories). The reaction was really positive, and I haven’t looked back since.
My San Nico Slayers series is inspired by my favorite movie of all time, The Lost Boys. You’ll see the most of that inspiration in the first book of the series, BLOOD ON THE BOARDWALK. I took the line “ghouls and werewolves occupy high positions at City Hall” to a whole new level. Part campy horror, part comedy, each book in that series speaks to my love of horror in a different way.
Anything I write in the young adult realm will be horror or horror-adjacent. It’s my first love, my security blanket, and like with food, there’s never enough of it.
I have a lot of books in the pipe, and more story ideas than I know what to do with. I hope you stick around to see what I come up with next!
As for what I do when I’m not writing, I love reading, and I read much more broadly than I write. I’m also a fairly obsessed papercrafter, making things like junk journals, cards, curiosity cabinets, and more recently book binding and journal-making. You can see more of that on my Instagram account . You might also see some of my amateur photography there too. I love taking pictures. I have four cats (yes, FOUR, it was an accident, I swear) and a husband who is incredibly patient with me and my writing. He deserves all the accolades.
