Anthologies I’ve Written and Co-Written

It Calls Me: An Anthology of Short Stories and Poetry

Water destroys and revives.

Waves shred ears like nails on a chalkboard, soothe troubled souls like a true apothecary.

Water is a joyful friend. A ghost wearing rouge. A toxin, enrobed in gray.

Ill-begotten saloons lurk near its edges while quaint riverwalks with ice cream parlors are much-adored sites. Heart-shaped shells fill up baskets amidst grassy trinkets, and the beauty of untouched sand needs to be both preserved and enjoyed.

Whether ocean, river, or rain, in this breathtaking anthology, Coughran poignantly shows us the beastly, saving nature of water-with a Percy Bysshe Shelley-like ear and range.

The Devils You Meet on Christmas Day

The season isn’t what it seems.

While some are nestled cozy in their traditions, others are lost in darkness. An unkindness of ravens lurks like a warning above them while they try to escape their inner demons and fight the dragons they’ve been trying to avoid. There’s no enjoying fatal amounts of pie because their minds are slipping, slipping into a twisted delusion.

They are the murderers, the disturbed, the unfortunate, and the misunderstood. These outliers are imprisoned by their circumstances until they slowly fade into the icy landscape, smothered by the forged façade of a perfect Christmas.

In this unsettling collection of stories, authors Katie Coughran, Vanessa K. Eccles, Mary Gray, and Cammie Larsen explore the darkened corners of paranormal, horror, and fantasy to create a gothic and somewhat macabre Christmas read.

inheritance-aflame-website-page-imageBorn into an enlightened and prosperous society, teen Miletta walks the path of her ordinary life, completely unaware that her ancestry is riddled with secrets—cryptic existences, unchosen.

But when Immorta—a life-prolonging pill—is created, the people embrace the capsule and accept it as the definer of a new, enhanced era and the Land begins to change.

After Immorta becomes more than it is supposed to, a sudden manifestation appearing on Miletta’s skin brings an understanding of the true meaning of her kinship and a calling to her people.
