INTRODUCING…ME!<\/strong>
\nIn case this is your first time here, I’m a dark fiction author with a number of published<\/a> & self-published works<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My short stories tend to be solely focused in the horror<\/strong> genre, but my various novels-in-progress range from paranormal thriller<\/strong> to suspense<\/strong> with some mystery<\/strong> thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n

I also run a horror review site called Bloody Bookish<\/a>, I’m a freelance writer<\/a> & copy writer<\/a> & I may have a soft & fuzzy (yet still kick-ass) alter ego<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
