A. W. Gifford
Warping minds, one reader at a time
I am an internationally
unknown author who gets many of my story ideas from the nightmares of my
wife, Jennifer. She too is an author of dark fiction, but she refuses to
write her own nightmares as she fears doing so will make them come true.
Story ideas also come to me from my dogs, the dust bunnies under the bed and
one very helpful garden gnome. My work has appeared in numerous magazines, anthologies and was once spotted stalking the woods of the Pacific Northwest. I, on the other hand, can be found stalking the woods in the northern suburbs of Detroit, while my wife and children huddle in the warmth of the house with our three dogs, and the aforementioned dust bunnies.
