About Me
I grew up in central Pennsylvania, the daughter and granddaughter of apple growers. After attending college and taking a job for several years in Pittsburgh, I live and work about two hours from where I grew up--so I can still enjoy fresh apples in the fall.
I'm not sure when my writing tastes turned to horror--I've got novels under the bed ranging from middle-grade fantasy to superhero mystery--but these days, I love to bring on the monsters.
