MontiLee Stormer
— Treasurer —

MontiLee Stormer writes about acts other people spend lots of time in jail for committing. MontiLee has found herself published in strange and wonderful places like:

  • Bound #1 (I Do This Because I Love You)
  • The Sinister Bedfellows Anthology (So Much For Love Potion #8)
  • Black Petals #36  (The Serpent Bearer)
  • Black Ink Horror #4 and #5 (And On The Seventh Day, Twas The Night)
  • Murky Depths #3 (The Suicide Bar).

Her interests include abnormal psychology, serial killers, and the storied Paradise Valley of Detroit.

MontiLee employs a ‘well-compensated’ sniper to keep the small but disturbingly dedicated legion of fanboys at bay. She lives in the Metro Detroit area with her husband, their two cats, and a yarn stash that breeds unchecked!
