Nancy Baker blames her life-long love of horror and fantasy fiction on the first horror story she can remember: The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin by Beatrix Potter. She dabbled in rock and roll (writing lyrics and singing in basement bands during her university years) before switching to writing fiction. She made her first professional sale in 1988, to Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone magazine and has subsequently published 3 novels. Her fourth is due out in November 2014 from ChiZine Publications. By day, she makes her living as business manager for a large Canadian magazine publisher.She is happily married and has neither children nor cats. (from author website)
