Renee S. DeCamillis

      As a writer, I like to walk in the shoes of the misunderstood. And I’m drawn to write in the fading light of each day, lured by the lengthening shadows into the darkness of my mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Renee is hands-down one of the hardest working writers I've met at Stonecoast, and her excellent thesis novel, Diagnosis, is proof of that. . . . [Diagnosis] is an engaging and intelligent page-turner that makes its supernatural subject both believable and emotionally engaging."

     ~Elizabeth Hand, bestselling and multi-award-winning author of thirteen cross-genre novels

       and four collections of short fiction, a longtime critic for the  Washington Post, Los Angeles

      Times, Salon, and The Village Voice; author of the Cass Neary crime novels--Generation Loss,

      Available Dark, and Hard Light.

 

"Renee did some of the most creative work I've ever seen at Stonecoast . . . Her novel Diagnosis--it's fabulous, it's scary, it's weird. What I love is, I'm a horror person and I've read tons of horror, and I could not read one scene [of Diagnosis] without the next. She's a great writer, and she's a hard worker. Through thick and thin she has been there dedicated to her writing. I want to say how much I respect her and enjoyed working with her."

 

     ~Nancy Holder, New York Times bestselling author, 5-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award 

       from the Horror Writers Association, author of the Wicked series and the young adult horror 

       series Posessions. She has sold over eighty novels one hundred short stories, many of them

       based on such shows as Highlander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and others. She is also the

       author of the Crimson Peak novelization.

 

"I feel Renee has hit upon a powerful and also marketable novel that takes on issues like addiction, prophetic powers, and the thin line of sanity. Renee's novel is powered by narrative tension, edgy sensual prose, and a deep sympathy for all her troubled characters. Her short fiction also delves into life on the edge."

     ~Elizabeth Searle, author of four novels of fiction, most recently Girl Held in Home, and Tanya

       and Nancy: The Rock Opera, which was a sold-out full production show at the New York Musical

       Festival (NYMF) in NYC in 2015; her novel A FOUR-SIDED BED is now in development as a

       feature film.
