The Arrival Reawakened

KASTIE PAVLIK is a gamer, artist, techie, and hopeless bibliophile who grew up loving all things macabre and creepy crawly, with an affinity for mythology, vampires, the paranormal, and psychology. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2008, she has subsequently beaten breast cancer, and manages a rare genetic disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. She spends her days entertaining (annoying?) her feline overlords while adapting to her endlessly changing needs. Surrounded by the starry cornfields of Illinois, she enjoys a quiet life with her husband and their cats. She is the author of the Children of the Morning Star vampire series and the horror novelette How to Make Lemonade. Her writing influences include Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice, James Herbert, Alfred Hitchcock, and Hideyuki Kikuchi. She is a member of The Alliance of Independent Authors.
