Jen Archer Wood is a writer. She makes great pancakes too. After earning a Masters and a research degree in European art history, she put a ring on her lifelong love affair with the horror genre and wrote her first novel, Point Pleasant. Though she lives in London, Jen is originally from Atlanta, Georgia and has a vast appreciation for her southern heritage and the strange stories that arise from its drawling denizens. She is an admirer of the southern gothic tradition, American urban legends, and the scent of rain on rusty screen doors. Her follow-up novel, Garage Sale Photograph, will unravel a haunting in Savannah, Georgia and is due out in early 2014.
