Biography

 

Troy McCombs has been writing since the young age of nine, when his third grade teacher had her students write a short story for class credit. He was hooked instantly, and knew that's what he wanted to do with his life. As a very frightened child and teen, he took special solace in the horror genre, often dreaming up scary worlds filled with imaginary monsters in order to deal with a crippling anxiety disorder he's had all his life. He also writes coming-of-age dramas and screenplays. His favorite authors include Lovecraft and Stephen King. He's even got posters of them on his wall, there to inspire him whenever he needs some extra motivation.

Aside from writing, Troy enjoys working out, playing guitar, reading, watching movies--and hoping to produce some, one day--and spending lots of time with his four-legged friend, Mya (Lolly passed on), in West Virginia.
