about me

I am a female horror writer.

I do not like romance. I do not like vampires. I do not like serial killers who kidnap attractive women--at least, not in my horror.

I do like unpretentious horror with original ‘bad things’, unattractive main characters and genuine tension and fear. I even hope to WRITE horror like that, though it’s up to the rest of you to judge if I am successful in that pursuit.

I look forward to reading your work.

The Hungry People

Frankie Bower

Deep in the woods there is an abandoned compound. At night all the pretty girls gather there. That’s when the killing happens.


Since her sister Samantha died, Red has been alone. Her father is on the run, fleeing pedophilia charges and her mother has become an insomniac who talks to strangers online all night.

With a job and an apartment of her own, Red looks like the only member of her family to have escaped Sam’s death relatively unscathed. But Red knows what really happened to Sam. She’s known ever since she started following all the popular girls into the woods at night.

Now the only thing standing between Red and revenge is the insidiously attractive Alex. But as the death toll mounts, Red is realizes there is more at stake than her desire for retribution.

‘The Hungry People’ is a horror novel, complete at 80, 000 words.

Right away I worry about your opening paragraph. A huge majority of people are going to disagree with the idea that people fall into those two catagories and when you look at most people in life you're going to find that almost everyone has both fortune and misfortune in their lives. I also thin... view book

Hi Michael, I'd strongly suggest opening the story with conflict and not a long, slow description of the setting. Start with something to get the reader's attention and move on to the gorgeous descriptive writing when we're hooked on the conflict and characters. Frankie view book

Hi Rod, I'm not sure if it's brave or insane to betray your killer in the blurb, however I love the work in progress/non fiction line! I think you need to find a more compelling opening line though. I think you're relying too much on the blurb to get the reader through that prologue and I'd li... view book

Hi David, I love your description. From the moment I read the first paragraph I knew I was going to adore your style. The only thing that really turned me off the book is my complete and utter bordem with attractive female victims. I don't know that there is a single greater cliche. It's the 0... view book
