About Me

My name is Curt Jeffreys and I've been writing fiction since 1996. I suppose I'm a horror writer, since that's where my dark side so often leads me, but really, labels are constricting and usually inaccurate. I write what I feel like writing when I feel like writing it. Sometimes it's horror, sometimes it's science-fiction, other times it might be crime or mystery. If I must be labeled let it be as a 'Speculative Fiction' writer because, after all, isn't all fiction speculative? When it comes down to it, doesn't speculation boil down to the simple question 'What If?' For example:

• Science-Fiction -
  What if a rocket ship could travel faster than light?
• Horror - 
  What if ghosts were real?
• Historical -
  What if you had been in Rome when Nero played his fiddle?
• Romance -
  What if the handsome young man with the bulging muscles seduced the blushing young virgin with the heaving bosom?
• Historical Romance -
  What if the handsome young man with the bulging muscles seduced the blushing young virgin with the heaving bosom while Nero played his fiddle?

And so it goes.
