Lorrie Ness is a Pushcart and Best of the Net nominated writer living in a rural corner of Northern Virginia. Her work bridges genres, bringing together elements of horror, comedy, romance and thriller. As a diehard Halloween enthusiast, her writing often explores the darkness that parallels the light.
When she’s not reading or writing, she can be found outdoors, seeking restoration in the woods.
Celebrating the sale of her debut novel May the Best Ghost Win to editor Molly Gun at Recorded Books by her agent A. J. Van Belle at the Booker Albert Literary agency.
