Veronica Smith once fancied herself the next Carolyn Keene when she was but a pre-teen. When she reached adulthood, she wanted to be the next Stephen King or Anne Rice.

Besides writing, she developed an obsession for all things horror, and even started many petitions to make Halloween a year-long holiday.

She and her husband live in Katy, Texas with their son and several pets, including a small horse-sized mastiff. See less
