About Me

I'm a horror writer: articles (for Fangoria, IGN, SFX, L'Ecran Fantastique), non-fiction books, and fiction. I'm also an actress: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2130745/. My first experience on that side of the camera was on the set of Brian Yuzna's BENEATH STILL WATERS, but most of it was cut out and what remains can hardly be glimpsed at. It took me a few years to give acting another chance, but in the past few months I've appeared in DOOMSDAY (as a punk and as a dying infected), in Tristan Versluis's brilliant short I LOVE YOU, and in THE DESCENT 2, amongst other things. I live with Neil Marshall, who happens to be the sweetest, funniest, brightest, most charming man ever, in addition to a super brilliant director. I'm a lucky girl! I'm fascinated by Halloween (the holiday), 80s horror movies, and the Disneyland Haunted Mansion (especially Disneyland Paris's Phantom Manor).Other interests include Re-Animator, my Jack Russell, chocolate and peanut butter milkshakes, WWE wrestling and Alice Cooper...
