During March the Horror Writers Association celebrates Women in Horror. They run an interview series all month long showcasing some of the women within the horror world.
The HWA Seattle Chapter would like to highlight some of our own chapter members during this time. Please check them out (link included) and head to the HWA blog for their series.
