Pamela K. Kinney gave up ignoring the voices in her head and has since written horror, fantasy, science fiction, a children’s picture book, poetry, and paranormal nonfiction. Her horror short story, “Bottled Spirits,” was runner-up for the 2013 WSFA Small Press Award. Her poem, “Dementia,” (HWA Poetry Showcase, Vol. VII) received a mention in Best Horror of the Year, Vol. 13. Her children’s faerie picture book, Christmas Magic, took second place in the “Children’s-Holidays” category of the BookFest Awards, Spring 2024. In 2024, she had a story and a poem in The Haunted Zone, a charity horror anthology; a story published in the horror anthology, Vinyl Cuts; a story in Halloweenthology: Witches’ Brew; and a poem in the Terror at Miskatonic Falls anthology. Also, her YA dark fantasy novel, (first in the Moon Ridge, Virginia trilogy) Demon Memories, was released October 15, 2024. She is currently working on a new nonfiction book for Schiffer Publishing about ghosts/cryptids/UFOs around the Appalachian Trail, as well as the second book in her Moon Ridge, Virginia trilogy.
Pamela and her husband live with one crazy black cat (who thinks she should take precedence over her mistress’s writing most days). Along with writing, Pamela has acted on stage and film and investigates the paranormal for episodes of Paranormal World Seekers for AVA Productions. She is a member of Horror Writers Association, Virginia Writers Club, and James River Writers. Learn more about her at PamelaKKinney.com.
