I am a four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning writer and I authored the novels Spellbent, Shotgun Sorceress, and Switchblade Goddess. I also wrote the nonfiction book Shooting Yourself in the Head for Fun and Profit: A Writer’s Survival Guide and the story collections While the Black Stars Burn, Soft Apocalypses, Sparks and Shadows, Chimeric Machines, and Installing Linux on a Dead Badger. My writing has been translated into French, Russian, Italian, Czech, and Japanese editions and has appeared in publications such as Apex Magazine, Nightmare Magazine, and Strange Horizons. I lead writing workshops and I'm a mentor in Seton Hill University’s MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction.
