edit data

Kathleen Palm wanted to be a ballerina (but dancing was hard), then a marine biologist (but science was hard). About eighteen years ago, she became a writer (which is hard, but she didn’t care). She loves scary movies, TV shows, and books, watching people play horror video games on YouTube, and chocolate cake. With her husband, two college kids, four cats and two dogs, she lives in a big, old (sadly not haunted) house in rural Indiana where she resists the urge to run through the killer-infested cornfields.
