Heather G. Wells
Asheville, NC, United States

I’m a fiction writer who supports herself by working as an editor for a technical publication. I’ve published short horror fiction in the small press under “Heather G. Wells” and “Zoe X. Rider” and gay erotica in anthologies under “Holden Wells.”

I grew up in New Hampshire (and still have an unreasonable crush on Manchester), and I adore New Orleans, but home is definitely here in the mountains of North Carolina, where the weather is reasonable, the view purty, and the food fresh and fantastic. (Also, it’s strategically located within a five-hour drive of a buttload of music venues, not that proximity to concerts has aaaaanything to do with where I’d choose to live. Hahaha.)
