I write under my own name, Nancy Kilpatrick, and also two pen names, Amarantha Knight and Desiree Knight.Two recent titles are:VAMPYRIC VARIATIONS, a collection of 7 vampire stories and 3 novellas, with an introduction by the wonderful writer Tanith Lee. ***WINNER OF THE SILVER FOREWORD REVIEWS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD (horror catagory)***DANSE MACABRE: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE REAPER, an anthology I edited with stories by Brian Lumley, Tanith Lee, Tom Piccirilli, Nancy Holder, Brian Hodge, Lisa Morton, Lucy Taylor and many others. The subject matter of these fascinating stories is based on Medieval artwork that interests me. I wanted to see if visual art could be turned into literature, and it can be!
