edit data

D.M. Kilgore writes romantic terror with bite—twisted tales that haunt, thrill, and hit you where it hurts (in the best way).

A former bedridden chronic illness warrior turned wellness rebel, she now shares her unfiltered journey and healing lifestyle with a fiercely loyal following.

Her stories are born from the dark places she clawed her way out of—and they carry the heartbeat of someone who believes in reclaiming power, purpose, and a life worth living.

When she’s not plotting her next twist, D.M. is out chasing sunrises in the rural Appalachians, brewing up nootropic coffee, and sharing untamed, unfiltered behind-the-scenes glimpses with her inner circle.

The Night Before Christmas… When You’re A Writer

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a writer was typing, nor clicking a mouse The stockings were slung sloppily over a chair Because the writer forgot St. Nick soon would be there The children were huddled up, all in one bed Because visions of monsters danced in their heads And […]

“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
― Stephen King
