Shannon K. Murphy lives in Fort Wayne, IN, and has channeled a harsh, lonely childhood into a love of horror. Growing up, she lived in books as an escape. Now, writing is a passion that sustains her.
She is a single mother, born in 1965, with a teenage son named Damien (yes, after the little boy in the Omen). She is private and eccentric to the point where rumors have had her practicing witchcraft and other devious doings. Little children have been known to hide behind mother's skirts upon her first gaze.
