Shawnna Deresch has been crafting scary stories since she could first talk. Her love of horror began when she was a child watching horror movies with her father and now as an adult is obsessed with anything horror related. She's a lover of paranormal investigations and loves checking out cemeteries and old buildings.
She travels extensively and splits her time between the Chicagoland area and anywhere down south where the temps don't go below 80 degrees. She lives with her three children, two black rescue cats and one blue-eyed puppy in a condo near the beach of a big city.
She is a member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and is the HWA Chicagoland Chapter Co-Chair, HWA Chapter Program Co-Manager, Chicago Writers Association, and Women's Fiction Writers Association. She has short stories in Kandisha Press Women of Horror Anthology Volume 3, D&T Publishing's ABC's of Terror, Volume IV, and Siren Calls Publications' The Siren Calls eZine, Issue 62.
