Hey All. I’ve revised my bio yet again so it doesn’t sound like I’m describing myself in third person. I’m an entertainment attorney (I draft contracts for movies), writer, filmmaker, and former Marine. I write scary books and laugh-out-loud spice-free rom-coms.

“It theorized that humans could only take cruelty to a certain degree of barbarism, and when it reached the diabolical level of something like the Holocaust, it meant that a supernatural evil had intervened. It meant that a Culling had occurred.”
Tom Lewis, The Necromancer

“Through me the way to the suffering city; Through me the way into eternal pain; Through me the way among the people lost... Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here.” — Inferno by Dante”
Tom Lewis, Hell: The Possession and Exorcism of Cassie Stevens

Wayne Gretzky

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

“It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people or for love or for hope. Exorcism cannot alter the countenance of a house ; Hill House would stay as it was until it was destroyed.”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Unsolved ☕︎ Mystery I don't blame you. One has to be safe.

Living in a forest sounds cool. I'm sure you see all kinds of critters.
We lived in Kentucky for over 2 years once. I saw all kinds of critters; including a wolverine.
It was in the field next to my house. No b.s.

Hey! I moved to Flagstaff, Arizona back in September to escape the riots and general chaos happening in Los Angeles. I'm literally now in the forest and mountains. I saw a deer while riding my motorcycle down a forest road. It was pretty cool =)

They do knock on the door, and it's hilarious (except when I'm trying to get work done from home). LOL. Yeah, they still come around every day.

LOL. Her books definitely build tension! As for Sloane, she could be the best character I’ve ever read. She was so complex, and damaged, and just human; it’s just really amazing that you can become so attached to a character in a book that it breaks your heart to see what they’re going through. Rhys was good, and I loved the follow up book (“Please Remain Calm”), but I really missed Sloane and her voice narrating it.


L A i N E Y ‘This is not a test’ was the first book I’ve read of hers and I still have such a warm place in my heart for it, so far, that is my fav. I LOVE Slone. Rhys is fine but Slone is hands down my baby girl. I still have a few to read (thank god!) before her new book comes out and I’m sure I’ll get to ‘All the rage’ soon :)

I actually started ‘Some girls are’ a while back but had to put it on hold because, and I’m not kidding here, it gave me too much anxiety and I didn’t want that at the time. Ha!

Hi Lainey. Thanks for accepting my request! I love Courtney! She’s become one of my favorite authors, and more than any other author I’ve read, her stories keep you thinking long after you’ve finished. “This is Not a Test” is my favorite, and “All The Rage” was awesome too, but honestly, I love them all. I can’t wait to read “Sadie” when it comes out. Which one is your favorite?
