Hello!

My name is Susan, welcome!

For the longest time I admired writers from afar, never dreaming I could be one. I didn’t have stories, I had nothing to say. Turns out that wasn’t true. The more I write, the more stories I have to tell - funny how that happens.

My love is dark fantasy - vampires, demons, angels, werewolves. Exploring the “human” in the non-human.

Here you’ll find

In no particular order:

  • General musings/things I’ve learned on my journey in life and as an author. Connection is a powerful thing, we’re not as different as we think.

  • Stories That Shaped Me - a series where I return to the books, music & movies that have shaped me as an artist. If they’re ones you’re familiar with, I’d love to hear your thoughts. If not, maybe it’s something new to explore.

  • Movie roundup - I watch A LOT of movies. Mostly independent horror. If movies are your jam, pull up a chair, get some wine & lets talk. Drop some recs - I’m open!

  • Short Stories.

  • Excerpts from my books with commentary.

  • Excerpts from my current project, just because.

  • Character profiles.

  • Q & A’s about my work.

  • Anything else that strikes my fancy.

The future

Yes, I plan to go paid and I invite you to support my work, but there will still be free content. General musings and Movie Roundup will always be free.

Looking forward to meeting you!

It’s true! I’d love for you to be a part of this community.

See you soon!
