For those not yet familiar with me, I’m what many would consider a walking contradiction. I’m young and female, generally sweet and nice. I love kids, puppies, and cute old people. Pictures of baby animals leave me in a happy little floor-puddle. But when I put my fingers on my keyboard, horrific things tend to happen. I don’t know why. I’ve tried not writing horror, but everything just ends up there. Romantic picnic plot? Slasher time! Fluffy bunny story? Bunny goes rabid and rips someone’s throat out.
I’ve self-published two books of a horror series so far, and all of my writing reflects this innate compulsion toward horror.

Hunted by their own, stalked by vengeful demons, and generally bursting apart at the seams, these hunters already have a foot in the grave. Nix can’t imagine why they willingly summoned her back into their lives. Their reasons end up being much darker than she could have anticipated—and there’s nothing Nix loves more than darkness.

Maybe murder—they hadn’t decided yet. #horror #shortstory #amwriting #milkteeth #jjreichenbach One of the little creatures yawned real wide. Already it had dozens of itsy-bitsy white teeth, far more than Little Wynn had. They almost looked like small people. Of course, she realised, they must be fairies.
