A life-long lover of horror, Vanessa wrote her first story in the genre when she was only in grade five. It was titled Mutilated and it warranted her a trip to the school guidance counsellor. A lifetime later, she continues to write about anything gruesome, terrifying, and paranormal, though she has since found herself enthralled in the lighthearted world of fantasy steampunk. Currently she is partying it up in St. George, New Brunswick with her husband Brendon and dog she really wants but hasn’t gotten yet.
