About

Hi, I’m Eileen! I write in a variety of genres, but my favorites are paranormal, horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy. My first novel, Haunted, came out this past spring! I’m also a submissions editor for Apex Magazine.

I currently live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, while my husband, an astrophysicist, does a post-doc at the University of Alabama. Before moving here, my sports love was baseball (GO RED SOX!) However, since football is the lingua franca around here, I started watching the team, and now I’m hooked. Roll Tide!!!

I have two children: Kolbe, who is nine, and Josie, who is seven. They’re wonderful and exasperating and surprise me every day!

When I’m not writing, I can often be found fangirling online about my current pop culture obsessions. Right now I’m a huge fan of Elementary, Sherlock and Doctor Who. I also love to read, sing (pretty well!) and play guitar (very badly).
