Jersey Devils
Step into the world of 1960s B-movies with
Miss Davis and the Movie Monsters
, where the horrors are supposed to stay on screen—until they don’t.
Nora Davis, a starlet known for low-budget films, is ready for her next role in Jersey Devils, a schlocky horror flick set in the eerie Pine Barrens of New Jersey. But when strange things start happening on set—disappearing crew members, eerie cult-like figures lurking in the woods, and a monster suit made of carpet—Nora realizes the real terror isn’t just bad special effects.
As filming spirals out of control, Nora teams up with Jake Graham, her private detective boyfriend, to investigate the mysterious forces threatening to bring production to a halt. As the line between movie magic and true horror blurs, the stakes get deadly. Can Miss Davis save the day both on and off the screen, or will her latest film be her last?
For fans of campy horror and classic monster movies, Jersey Devils delivers spine-tingling thrills with a nostalgic twist.

I’m your atypical fat gamer girl who loves to write: Horror, non-fiction, poems, paranormal suspense, non-fiction, and sci-fi.
Although I prefer to write fiction, my first book was the non-fiction Fat Chicks Rule! A guidebook on being a big girl in a thin world and included information on how to find fat positive books, movies, and TV, where to find fashion, comfortable seating, and how to deal with fat hatred. Writing this book changed my life and perspective on dieting and fat bodies. I also wrote the essay "Fat Heroines in Chick Lit" for the Fat Studies Reader. (This essay from mentioned in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, so woohoo!)
But my first love was fiction, which I returned to with the End of the Line series. Three zombie novels that take place in a world almost dead of the flu and having to deal with the zombies who rose from the ashes. End of the Line was followed by Stuck in the Middle and Full Circle (Coming 2024). And maybe more books to come.
Changing gears I moved on to a more lighthearted paranormal suspense/ horror series Paranormal Pest Control. Where exterminators and paranormal investigators fight demonic bugs. The first book is out. The second book “Dark Thing in the Cemetery” is expected April 2024.
I have also appeared in Tales from the Canyon of the Damned and Necrotic Tissues, and have essays about library science (my fun day job).
I'm heavily influenced by Joe R. Lansdale, Stephen King, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler and Richard Matheson.
I live in New York City, married to fellow author Jon Frater and have lots of animals and people in my house. I’m in need of an exterminator or an obedient Dalek.
