Hi, I’m Meredith Pate, and I write Suspense, Southern Gothic, and Horror novels. I was born in San Antonio and currently live in Houston, TX with my husband, six-year-old son, a Labrador diva, and the grumpiest corgi. As a former romance writer who jumps at her own shadow, I find myself drawn to literature that shines a light on what terrifies us most.

I pride myself on reading and writing widely and am excited to share my current reads via my monthly newsletter (subscribe below!). I will read any genre, so PLEASE always tell me if you just finished an amazing book. I suffer from chronic literary FOMO.

Thank you for being here! Follow along for updates on my publishing journey!
