I'm an only child who grew up in Vermont. Since I lived in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere, I was always coming up with scary stories. My babysitter reading to me about serial killers didn't help!


Since then I've lived in NYC, LA, Portland, OR and some of the best beach towns like Ocean, Miami and Newport.

I love all things horror and all things YA.

Fav books include 'salem's lot, Heart-shaped Box, Daughters unto Devils and Dare Me. Classic favs include Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby.

For TV The 100, You, Legacies, Riverdale, T@gged plus older shows like The Originals, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, Buffy, The OC, and of course Pretty Little Liars!

And my favorite thing in the world is my ten pound furbaby!
