DM Slate’s first sci-fi horror novella was
published in December of 2009, and it’s
been full speed ahead since then. She
credits herself with an overactive
imagination and constantly drawing
inspiration from everything around me,
hence a million unfinished stories. She
has reached a point in her career where
she needs to start networking and making
connections with more seasoned
professionals who can give me advice
and point me in the right direction.
