About VeronicaThePajamaThief
Bio: Veronica Marie Lewis-Shaw
Born in Lisboa, Portugal to parents of Portuguese/Russian descent, Veronica Marie and her wife, Christina Anne, call the Pacific Northwest home, where the couple are “still very much on honeymoon!”
When not teaching and finishing her own studies for a Masters in Sociology, Veronica writes fiction, primarily noir - "I love dark!". Her long fascination with noir fiction prompted Veronica to try her own hand at writing fiction several years ago. She has been published in Pulp Metal Magazine, The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology, the horror anthology 100 Horrors, from Cruentus Libri Press, Nightfalls: an End of the World anthology, Drunk On The Moon 2: A Roman Dalton anthology and Gloves Off: Near To the Knuckle's debut anthology. Veronica has also appeared in the inaugural issue of Literary Orphans magazine and her horror/urban fantasy short story SOUL TAKER was recently chosen for inclusion in Lily Childs' february femmes fatales, an urban fantasy/horror anthology.
Veronica counts among her mentors - Carole A Parker, Lily Childs, Paul D Brazill, Richard Godwin, Joyce Juzwik and Vicki Abelson. She is currently working on the third draft of her first novel – a memoir – as well the second draft of her first fiction novel, a fantasy novel and the publication of a collection of her flash fiction and short stories. Lily's The Feardom and Vicki Abelson's Women Who Write Facebook writing group have both been a tremendous source of support and inspiration for Veronica.

That’s interesting Veronica, 🙂
Thank you, Leanne! I find it a very interesting word as well. 🙂
I came across this word, and its adjective form, while working on a story for an ‘end-of-the-world’ anthology due out at the end of the year. The premise of my story is that zombies take over the world.
I think my daughter would like that story, she loves horror stories. 🙂
My story is through the eyes of a 15 year old Portuguese girl, talking about their last night on Earth… no graphic horror in this piece; it’s all implied. I would be more than happy though, to send you a copy of the anthology when it comes out… I’m not sure how many writers are contributing, but it should be an interesting read, considering the theme.
That would be wonderful. I asked her and she said she would like that. She does some writing herself, you could check out her blog

Don’t feel obligated to do it.
I will make sure I do that then, when the anthology comes out.
I just popped over and read ‘The Moon Is Alone In The Sky'”. It is a very evocative piece… I really like it!
Thank you Veronica, that would be great.
I think she is a great writer and definitely well ahead of her 17 years. she wants to be a writer. Thank you for taking a look.
I wasn’t familiar with this word. Which is probably a good thing. Now, I’m in the mood for zombie flick and it’s past my bed time.
