AUTHOR: I'm a horror author, editor, and mentor with a soft spot for dark woods, old houses, and secrets. My editorial leadership is displayed within anthologies and community-based writing initiatives. I'm an active member of the Horror Writers Association, a member of the ITWA, and the Review Coordinator at Horrortree.com. Outside of writing, I can be found behind a camera, in the garden, or watching something unsettling on the screen (purely for research, of course). I live in Pennsylvania with my husband and five kids… who may or may not inspire my work.

People often ask me where I get the ideas for my writing. Creativity is sparked through living life. I love to travel and see how others live, work, eat, and play. I'm an avid movie-watcher and am inspired by story lines. Then there's rumors, gossip, neighborhood happenings, what ifs and how comes, musings, and dreams. Inspiration is all around me. I write weird, quirky, funny, and whatever else I’m in the mood to put to paper.
Check out my musings on my blog and by subscribing to my quarterly newsletter. I'm not a pest, promise!

PREMISE is more important than PLOT. A wonderful story isn't a great read without a well done premise. This free PDF will guide you as a writer with the steps to build a complete story.
