D.M. Kilgore writes romantic terror with bite—twisted tales that haunt, thrill, and hit you where it hurts (in the best way).

A former bedridden chronic illness warrior turned wellness rebel, she now shares her unfiltered journey and healing lifestyle with a fiercely loyal following.

Her stories are born from the dark places she clawed her way out of—and they carry the heartbeat of someone who believes in reclaiming power, purpose, and a life worth living.

When she’s not plotting her next twist, D.M. is out chasing sunrises in the rural Appalachians, brewing up nootropic coffee, and sharing untamed, unfiltered behind-the-scenes glimpses with her inner circle.

The Night Before Christmas… When You’re A Writer

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a writer was typing, nor clicking a mouse The stockings were slung sloppily over a chair Because the writer forgot St. Nick soon would be there The children were huddled up, all in one bed Because visions of monsters danced in their heads And […] Read more of this blog post »

Unfortunately, The Favorite Girl did not work for me at all.

Stephen  King
“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
