Paris Soto
A speculative fiction writer exploring themes such as the lure and dangers of love and humanity’s relationship with nature. In 2025, her manuscript placed second in the Pacific Northwest Writers’ Association’s unpublished novel contest in the horror/paranormal category. Her short story Hallaca appears in the anthology HOPE AMONG THE STORM, published by Three Ravens Press. She’s currently editing her third manuscript, a historical southern gothic.
She is a member of the PNWA, The Black List, and the LGBTQIA+ community. A staunch believer in yearning, you will always find romance budding between the lines of her bleak, yet hopeful, work. When not writing or reading, you can find her haunting the halls of the North Carolina Museum of Natural History or strolling through a crumbling cemetery with her kids. And yes, she still rewatches Dirty Dancing about once a week.
Now Querying!
A co-dependent woman's haven becomes hell when guests of her father’s will-reading ceremony are picked off by a spirit of vengeance, forcing her to choose between leaving the one place she thought was safe with the man who refuses to marry her, or staying on the island with the one who never left.
