Background
Information
I have loved writing from a young age. I cannot explain why writing is so important to me-but I can say that when I'm writing, I think about nothing but the movie playing in my head.
I have always enjoyed being scared, and I have sought the very best movies, books, haunted houses, etc. trying to find new ways to be be frightened. I love Stephen King and Clive Barker. I also love Lionsgate, which produces some of the best movies I have ever seen.
I wish I could say that there is some creepy karma at work, but that would be lying. I just like horror. Many people will understand the illogical need that makes them want to scare themselves silly. I am just one of those people. :) Who doesn't like to be scared?????
To me, being scared (really scared) is a privilage. I cannot think of any higher honor, then when one person works hard and long to scare me. I think of all the greats in horror; John Carpenter, Wes Craven, George Romero, Mary Lambert, Stephen King, Anne Rice, Laurell K. Hamilton, and so many more! They all work hard to make their movies or books the very best they can be.
I hope that people will see that in my writing. I want them to see the different types of horror I have used, maybe catch a hidden meaning here or there, and just be truly frightened. Really, my biggest compliment so far is that the book is 'gross' and I made someone 'sick to their stomach.' Thank you for those reviews, cause I love them! If you think twice about turning your lights off at night, then I did my job.
