Where Terror Meets Tenderness
I’m a horror writer and editor, kitten foster, vegetarian, and Aries. My published works include the novels FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME, ONLY MONSTERS REMAIN, BURN BEAUTIFUL SOUL, and CRAWL ON YOUR BELLY ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. My favorite stories involve the challenges of connecting with other humans, including love stories that end badly. Born and raised in Philadelphia, I now live in a small but well-guarded fortress in Pennsylvania, somewhere on the map between Philly and Bethlehem.
