Lee Ann Kostempski

My name's Lee Ann. I specialize in horror and dark fantasy, but mostly use Wattpad to share YA projects and fanfiction.

I'm a college librarian who is extremely grateful to have summers off to focus on my writing. I started writing when I was in 1st grade and ended up graduating from undergrad with a Bachelor's in English & Creative Writing. Later on, I earned a Master's in Information & Library Science. When I'm not writing or working at the library, you can find me listening to SHINee, cross-stitching, sketching, or playing video games.

My short story, "Like It's a Mad Thing," was published in the Spring 2020 issue of an online literary magazine called 34 Orchard. You can read it for free from a PDF download on the magazine's website! :D

My debut horror-fantasy novella, The World As It Should Be, is available now from Mocha Memoirs Press in both Kindle and print format, on the publisher's website or on Amazon.

Completed Wattpad WIPs:
1. The Voice Box (a short entry for the Welcome to the Blumhouse contest, Oct. 2020)
2. The Stages of Grief (a fanfiction of The Untamed)

Current WIPs:
1. Death & Taxes (dark fantasy trilogy, rough drafting, not available on Wattpad)
2. Parasocial (horror novella, rough drafting, not available on Wattpad)
3. For the Love of the Library (YA coming-of-age, rough drafting, coming soon to Wattpad!)
4. Hysterical (horror novel about the vengeful spirit of a woman whose doctor didn't take her pain seriously, not available on Wattpad)

You can also find some more of my fan fiction (Until Dawn, Harry Potter, Z Nation) over on Ao3, under LA_Writes.
