P.D. Cacek has published over a hundred short stories and
five published novels. A past Guest Lecturer at the Odyssey Writing
Camp, Cacek's horror, fantasy and science fiction stories have
appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies since going
professional in the late 90's. She is also proud of the book
she recently co-edited, with Laura J. Hickman, the charity
anthology, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, with all proceeds going to
The Jimmy Fund of the DANA-BARBER Cancer Institute.
Cacek holds a Bachelor's Degree in English/Creative Writing Option
from the University of California at Long Beach and is a certified
Wilderness Survival Instructor. A native Westerner, Cacek divides
her time between Arvada, CO - which looks own on the Mile High city
- and Phoenixville, PA - only a short walk from the Colonial
Theater where the famous "Run Screaming From Theatre" scene in THE
BLOB was filmed. When not writing, she can often been found with
THE PATIENT CREATURES, a group of costumed storytellers.
