Serena Mossgraves

Today’s Author Spotlight is the talented Serena Mossgraves.

Serena

She is one of our darker authors, specializing in weaving horror and dark fantasy short stories and novels that will have you cowering under your covers at night.

She’s been writing for approximately four years and does so because she has ‘an urge to scare” and wants to “explore the darker side of human nature.” She chose to be an Indie Author because she doesn’t like being told she can’t do something, so she pushes herself to proves others wrong.

When asked if she has hobbies she told us this: “Yes. I enjoy crawling around on the interwebs looking for spiders to pet. I enjoy listening to creepy videos and horror memes. I enjoy chemical experimentation.”

She lives in the deepest reaches of the demonweb pits and when asked about family or pets, she said ‘Does the ghost chained in my attic count?”

As for dealing with any kind of writer’s block, she said “Just beat it with a hammer!”

She is published (look for her books here: Amazon ) and she has a website, which you can find here: Serena

I hope you all enjoyed learning about Miss Mossgraves and that you will check out her stories if dark and spooky is your thing!

Tune in tomorrow for our Creative Spotlight, and come back on Friday to read about our resident cat lady, Tish MacWebber!

Author and poet

Born October 1966 in Mitcham , Surrey – currently residing in Exmouth, Devon

He is quoted saying

– Even the most ordinary can lead to the most extraordinary inspirations -as a writer he tends to mix prose and verse to illustrate scenes , moods, emotions-works range through the spectrums of dark nihilism, paganism, humour, and even children’s poetry books.

He is Heretical in religious views, pagan, lover of classical history and forteana. He prefers classical music and jazz.

His published works – all available on Amazon

He can be found on Facebook – Dw Storer, Author on Facebook

and on Amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Darren-Storer/e/B008JDJ04M

When asked why he was an Indie author, he told us that he tried the traditional route twice before. The first time the publisher didn’t pay him, and the second failed to promote the books as promised. So he said that he was going indie because the writing was the most important part.

DW Storer is an amazing author. Go show him some love!

Desiree Jensen

Welcome to today’s Author Spotlight! Today we have Desiree Jensen, or Des as her friends and colleagues call her. She has been writing urban fantasy, pulp horror & slam poetry under the name of D. Gabrielle Jensen for 15 years but has been writing in general for 35 years. She started writing ‘because she just did. It was in her blood’.

When asked why she became an indie author, she explained that it is because she wants “the freedom to be the final decision on my work and to be able to work according to my own timelines, not someone else’s.”

She has a website for anyone that is interested in checking her work out (and you really should!): D. Gabrielle Jensen .

She resides in Colorado, USA where she lives with two cats – a teen mom and her kid, who are now 11 and 10 years old and enjoys many hobbies when she is not busy writing: music, concerts, crochet, jewelry making, graphic design/merchandise design.

We asked her if she gets writer’s block. She answered, “I do. It depends on how bad it is. If I can make words, I try to just push through it. If I can’t, if I find myself staring at a blank page for too long, I try something else. Something creative, go for a walk, work in the garden to reconnect my soul to the Earth.”

We were so happy that Ms. Jensen filled out our questionnaire! It’s so nice to find out about other Indie Authors. We hope you all enjoyed reading about her and that you go check out her website and show her some love.

Family is a huge part of Deedra’s life. She currently resides in Kentucky with her Husband to be, Onas, and their children.

She has a website, currently for her editing business. She is currently working on revising her books to bring new covers, for a fresh new look. Such books include the Louise Green Series, and Immortal (a volume of poetry). Let me tell you, I have seen the new covers. They are so beautiful.

We are truly grateful to Miss Deedra for allowing us to spotlight her. Deedra Nichole is also one of the Authors writing in our upcoming anthology Under the Mists. Her story “Mermaid Pearls” is a amazing read. Go show her love.
