C. C. Dockins grew up fishing in the creeks and rivers deep in the backwoods of her hometown in Tennessee. She earned her B.A. in English from Middle Tennessee State University in 2010 and is a graduate of the Odyssey Writing Workshop.

She has passed instruments in surgical suites and slung drinks in bars. Currently, she’s an associate editor for the award-winning horror podcast, PseudoPod. When not writing, she spends her free time digging through decaying boxes at local bookstores or the occasional barn for the forgotten, the lost, and the bizarre.

On rainy nights, she can hear the river calling.
