edit data

Award-winning author, C. L. Brees, was born and raised in rural Indiana, a place where the environment was a bit too restrictive to contain his overactive imagination. He needed a place where he could expand his horizons.

In 2011, after relocating to Maryland, he followed his passion for forensics and law enforcement and enrolled at the University of Baltimore. Four years later he earned not only a B.S. in Police Studies but also an M.S. in Cyber Forensics.

C.L. Brees answered Goodreads's question: Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story? She abruptly awoke, for the second time, to a blood-curdling scream and a cold sweat, "it's only a dream." Then a sudden movement from the corner of the room caught her attention, and when she squinted her eyes from a better look; that's when her nig See Full Answer
