Tatisha Marie Jackson has been writing since elementary school, usually creating stories of suspense or horror to terrify her family and friends. She is also an avid poet and was a regular on the poetry circuit in the Bay Area and Las Vegas. She has written for several internet websites as an editorial columnist, and currently runs a weblog, Really Smart Talk, where she participates in the monthly Radical Women of Color Carnival. However, Ms. Jackson has decided to focus more on the creepy aspects of literature, as those seem to be the most satisfying. "The Love of a Zombie Is Everlasting" will be her first published horror story.
