I’m George,
YOUR NEW WRITER FRIEND

George Elmer is a dark urban fantasy author, which is awesome because she writes books. She lives in rural England, an excellent source of both potential horror stories and rich history to chuck into those horror stories. She’s written creepy stories since she knew what a pencil was for. It’s just taken her forever to finish the projects she starts.
