The Vampire Always Bites Twice is the Wattys 2022 English Language Grand Prize Winner! 

🍾

Writer, witch, and hopeless necromantic. I earned my BFA from The University of the Arts in 2014, where I majored in Writing for Film & Television, and minored in petty hexes. I enjoy writing mysteries about sex, undeath, and witchcraft. This bisexual witch and wine enthusiast lives in Philadelphia with my lover and two feline familiars. I swear I have never reanimated any of them. Pinky promise.

🥂
