Skull - Michele Bardsley - Pretty Evil Fiction

Hi there! I’m Michele Bardsley, and I write Pretty Evil Fiction. My motto: If it’s evil, throw glitter on it. Consume with sharp teeth and vicious intent.

Who am I?

I’m a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of paranormal fiction. I live in an itty bitty town in Missouri. I love zombies, all the dogs and cats, and chocolate as dark as my heart.
