Adrian Bio

Adrian Phoenix and her mascot, the Thing What Squeaks

As a writer, a person, and a mother, I’ve always believed in following your dreams, following your heart. It’s also important to keep your heart, so I also believe in being prepared for zombie attacks and can’t stress enough the importance of having regular family drills so every member of the household is zombie-ready. One never knows. Make sure the sofa is ready to push in front of the door. Be clear that if a member of the family is on the wrong side of the door when the zombie action goes down. They remain on the wrong side of the door. The greater good, etc.

Stuff on my desk

I live in Springfield, Oregon in a zombie-free home (except when meeting deadlines) with two cats, Keats and Emily, and have two sons and three grandchildren and two granddogs. I’m the author of The Maker’s Song and Hoodoo series and short stories (the short stuff usually under Adrian Nikolas Phoenix).

I love to read and see movies, enjoy hiking with my granddog, Cielo, (immortalized in Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and hanging out with friends.

I also love creepy things and yearns to go on a paranormal investigation. I also hope to do a haunted tour one day.

I also love, love, love music – and anything by Trent Reznor is high on the list. I also love to hear from my readers and fans, So please feel free to contact me via the CONTACT link or on Facebook or at adrian@adrianphoenix.com.
