“…and then she lost her mind.”
“No, she is a writer whose work has always been steeped in the uncanny in some way. “
Popular Substack Writer Antonio Castellaneta:
“This doesn’t feel like a sudden turn at all after reading your post. It feels more like you’re finally returning to a part of yourself that was there from the beginning. The phrase “if not now, when” really carries the whole piece.”
A complicated relationship with my mother brought me to her love of re-runs of Dark Shadows, classic vamp, werewolf, mummy, and ghostly lore films and television. Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing.
My bond with the ghostly continued with my first visit to Walt Disney World. I demanded to ride THE HAUNTED MANSION over and over again.
That affinity bled onto the stage and screen, leading to roles playing iconic figures: the Bride of Frankenstein in Universal Studios’ Beetlejuice Graveyard Rock Revue, to the opening environmental theatre cast of Jekyll & Hyde in NYC, to a young bride seeking cryogenic preservation for her much older husband so she can go on their honeymoon in the cult mad scientist, southern gothic series Morgus the Magnificent.
NOW I’m writing atmospheric supernatural, Victorian tinged, quiet, psychological and mind-bending thrillers and horror stories with some featuring my love of animals as pivotal characters.
My micro-horror, short stories, long form stories and books are all available as IPs.
Quick Peak Into My History:
For decades, my journey took place in studios and on stages as an award-winning performer, writer and producer. I poured myself into the life of an actor, singer, dancer, voice-over artist, stunt person, circus artist, professional water skier, and dancer.
I became a published poet at 14 and continued by writing for television, the stage, as a songwriter, in books, print and online magazines, articles, and much more.
