ResourcesI’m an aspiring writer who spends her days developing websites for a university. I have two sisters and two cats (a very strange coincidence), and dread my hour long commute into downtown. I love to write and have been writing ever since I was little. I used to write stories in green gel ink – you know, the kind that never came out of the pen properly – and then I’d pester family and friends to read over it and give me critique. When I was in elementary school I created a puppet theater for class and was asked to put on puppet plays for other classes as well. I had little paper cut-outs of Bernstein Bears on Popsicle sticks to give you an idea. Not quite original storytelling, but it really got me interested in entertaining others behind a curtain. So I guess it was kind of like writing a book. 😉 So fabricating stories and sharing tales is something I’ve loved for a long time. In High School I ended up getting very interested in the sciences, and although math was never my strong point, I ended up going to college and getting a degree in Computer Science.…

A Heavy Inheritance

Now available in Southern Monsters, a new anthology from Frightful Fables Press, in both ebook and paperback formats.

Southern Gothic icon Flannery O’Connor once wrote, “Right now the whole world seems to be going through a dark night of the soul.” With this timeless observation in mind, 16 deviously talented authors banded together to examine the monsters that lurk within the shadows of the U.S. South’s dark night.

In this anthology, the definition of a monster is open to interpretation; whether folkloric beast, gruesome creature, or cruel human killer. We set out to expose via prose the things that haunt us—and the annals of our collective history.

Featuring stories by: Tony Sarrecchia, Galen David Bunting, William Sterling, David Powell, Matthew W. Quinn, Darrell Z. Grizzle, Bill Bridges, Leanna Riley, Marlena Frank, D.C. Phillips, Alex Tucker, Rhyne Armstrong, Dawn Major, Jessica Nettles, Zach Lamb, Vanessa Reid

Including my story, “A Heavy Inheritance”.

“They were early this year. The land drew children to it, usually teenagers coming out on a dare. It usually started in late summer, just as the first chilly winds of fall came, but this was only midway through summer. The trespassers were always different; none of them were foolish enough to come twice.”
