Jeannette Towey
My stories are all fantasy, shading towards horror, and this is also true of my two most recent novels, Nihilation, and Hide and Seek. I have also written two historical novels, The Mystic Marriage and Secretorum Secretissimus (long listed for the 2010 SCWBI Undiscovered Voices competition). And when I'm not writing fiction, I write articles on modern culture for The Phantom Zone and review teen books for WriteAway.
