K.G. McAbee

K. G. McAbee has been writing full time since 1999. She sold her first short story to the perspicacious Canadian sf/f magazine Challenging Destiny, and shortly thereafter won first prize in the Writers’ Journal Fiction Contest. Her first book, a dark fantasy called Escape the Past, won the prestigious Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence from Reviewers International. Her books are published by Calderwood Books, Double-Dragon Ebooks, Awe-Struck Books, Moonstone Books, Wild Cat Books and Filament Bookclub. Her short fiction has appeared in Challenging Destiny, Romance & Beyond, Classic Pulp Fiction, Startling Stories, The Eternal Night, Crimson, Dark Wisdom, Without a Clue and other magazines.

When she’s not writing or reading, she spends time with her husband and dogs in upstate South Carolina, in a log cabin built in 1818 surrounded by gardens and creeks. Please visit her website at: www.kgmcabee.net or email her at: kgmcabee@gmail.com
