I live in a historical little town in Virginia that's full of ghosts that keep me company and inspire my work. I particularly love spooky stories and real-world horror. I am a member of the Horror Writers Association and have participated in every National Novel Writing Month since 2002. The Inn-Sitter is my debut YA horror novel.
