I work in a major grocery store chain on the east coast and have been writing off and on since I was in the eighth grade, maybe earlier.  Three or four years ago I wrote my first novel about a werewolf killing people in a small town called Tombsbury. I'm currently editing it and preparing it for submission. I have loved the horror genre for as long as I can remember.  One of the first horror films I saw was Stephen King's Silver Bullet in the eighth grade coincidentally. As a child, perhaps around the same time as I saw Silver Bullet, I remember flipping through the channels late at night and saw a zombie eating flesh off of an arm in Night of the Living Dead.
