I grew up in Stoneboro, PA. I graduated from Lakeview High school in 2002, and I received my BA in creative writing from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford in 2006. I write science fiction, fantasy, and horror short stories. I read slush for Clarkesworld Magazine and I've worked as an assistant editor for the Triangulation Annual Anthology Series since 2008.
I enjoy science fiction and fantasy in all of their forms. I also like anime, tabletop and Xbox rpgs, musicals, and nature documentaries. My Xbox gamertag is AnyaSelena, and you can find me on both Facebook and Twitter.
I currently live in Pittsburgh with my husband, Paul, and our cat, Zuko. I am a member of the Pittsburgh-based writing group Write or Die, and I attended James Gunn's Science Fiction Writer's Workshop at the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas in 2010. My fiction has appeared on
the Best Horror of the Year Honorable Mention and Tangent Online Recommended Reading Lists.
