O.M. GREY Badlands Costume Contest Loot Donation

The Texas heat isn't the only steamy thing in Austin!

O.M. Grey has donated a copy of her Amazon.com
Gothic Romance bestseller, Avalon Revisited!

O. M. Grey dreams of the dark streets of London and the decadent deeds that occur after sunset. She dons a tight corset, a fluffy bustle, and a teeny-tiny top hat for fantasy conventions where she enjoys meeting fans and participating on panels. Olivia prefers to live in the cobwebbed corners of her dark mind writing paranormal romance with a Steampunk twist.

Her premiere Steampunk Paranormal Romance novel, Avalon Revisited, is an Amazon.com Gothic Romance bestseller. She also writes short stories, relationship articles, and angsty poetry.

Ms. Grey is represented by the fabulous Louise Fury of the L. Perkins Agency.

When she’s not writing, she’s reading, tending the garden, or drinking a hot cup of tea.

Just two drops, please.

Be sure to stop by and say hello at the Badlands Elysium event!
