She rules over dusk and darkness, shadow and shade

About Me

I'm a dark fantasy/horror writer. I've two novels published: THE VOID (Leisure Books, mass market paperback, OP) and SECRETS OF THE BONES (Wildside Press, hardcover and trade paper editions, order .. at www.amazon.com or www.shocklines.com). In addition, I've had more than two dozen short stories printed in various genre magazines and anthologies; such as, Horror Garage, Flesh & Blood Magazine, Surreal Magazine and forthcoming in Inhuman Magazine.
At the moment, I'm on a writing hiatus to pursue my master's in biogeography. I plan on saving the world in addition to entertaining it. :P
Other than that, I'm an enigmatic oxymoron.
