Killion Slade is an award-winning, Amazon bestselling speculative paranormal fiction author. As a loyal reader of dystopian urban fantasy herself, the apocalyptic genres drew her to become a homesteader, ensuring her family could survive if a world-wide crisis ever occurred and washing machines disappeared. When not writing, she can be found raising chickens, geocaching, making soap and artisan cheeses. Growing natural herbs for medicinal therapies and hanging with family and friends in Montana. (Seriously, no apocalypse is taking this woman down.) Killion's novels include Exsanguinate (2013) and Obfuscate (2016). Her short stories can be found in Sirens Call; The Danse Macabre; Cynic Magazine; Bewildering Stories; Midwest Literary Magazine; and in the anthologies Bite from the Heart; Death Sparkles; and Roms, Bombs, and Zoms.
