Roni Stinger is a speculative and dark fiction writer living in the Pacific Northwest, USA.

A high school dropout and teen mom, she later went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with minors in English Literature and Philosophy. She has worked as a social worker, a small business owner, and an editor, among various other odd jobs.

She’s the membership committee co-chair at Horror Writers Association, The Write Place coordinator at Willamette Writers, and is also a member of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Codex Writers, and Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association.

Her short fiction and poetry have been published in various magazines and anthologies, and she is currently shopping Penumbra of Innocence, her debut novel.

When she’s not reading, writing or spending time with her family, she’s often wandering the streets, forests, and beaches in search of shiny objects and creative sparks.
