Mandy DeGeit

My name Mandy J. De Geit.

I dropped the "J" and smashed the De Geit together after my first story was published and I realized more words in my name meant the longer my autograph would be... Chalk it up to either time management or laziness, they're both pretty much the same.

I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I've lived here since 1999 I think, it's been awhile anyways. Home for me was originally Timmins, Ontario, it's a little town up four hours north of North Bay. *(I'm hoping to be the next big thing from Timmins, put it on the map for something else other than that Shania girl.)

I chose to make Ottawa my home, for the last... 13 years or so. I'm kinda gypsy-like/nomadic and I don't like staying put for too long, but aside from travelling around Canada and the US, I haven't strayed too far from Ottawa... yet.

I have a few things under my writing belt now, but it all started with She Makes Me Smile, in May 2012.

*(I should add here that a lot has happened regarding my short story She Makes Me Smile. It went from published to pulled to self-published and well... It'll be easier if you just see my blog for more information. Otherwise, SMMS can be found here on Amazon, along with a few of my other stories.)

You can find a full list of publications here. http://mandydegeit.wordpress.com/publications/

At the moment, I call myself an author of creepy fiction as I'm not sure how else to explain what I write. I try to write about things that just might happen. I write more about the darkness that resides inside people around us, the secrets our friends might carry or the things that people close to us think about and are capable of. There's really no category for that yet so creepy fiction works for me for now. I see myself heading off into other genres, such as bizarro and comedy, but I'll always come back to horror.

Thanks stopping by, happy reading!
