About S E Knight
I am a woman who writes. I have not been traditionally published, though a short story, “The Case of the Lethal Liqueur” received Honorable Mention in the 2017 Al Blanchard Award. I am also married with two adult children and four grandchildren. Having lived my entire life in southeastern Massachusetts, I moved to North Carolina in 2020. (During a pandemic!)
After the move I continued to write in my free time and once retiring in 2023 decided to get published. But I didn’t want to try to find an agent and go the traditional route so self publishing was the way to go for me.

What I Write:
I write Mysteries and Fantasies, and a little Horror or Dark Fantasy to be honest – a lot of Post-Apocalyptic story lines. There are a few novels in the works right now, one is a Cozy Mystery (think Jessica Fletcher or Miss Marple but younger and married with kids) and I am trying to come up with a supernatural element for it. This will be book number one of a series – I have at least seven ideas for future volumes with the same main characters. There are two Fantasies – one is a zombie apocalypse story, though it is equally a story of how a family survives and how the daughter grows to become a leader and another fantasy about a brother and sister surviving in a hostile environment post global warming (possibly Earth, possibly not).
The zombie story I am working on is titled Generation Zee. I know there are a lot of zombie stories out there, but hopefully mine is a little different. It is also the story of a girl who matures from someone who is somewhat self-centered and perfectly happy to have other people make the decisions to a leader. There are, of course, the requisite zombie battles, and people do die. Anyway, I hope there is enough there for you, the reader.I got the idea for this story from my daughter. When she was a teenager and in her early twenties, she used to say how my house was the perfect house if there was ever a zombie attack. She said that if there was a zombie apocalypse, that she was going to buy some guns and fencing and hole up at the house.
This might become the first book in a trilogy – each one focusing on one of the three siblings. It will also be the first to be published as I am close to the finish. Look for it within the next few months.
And I love short stories, to read and to write; I have self-published 18 of them so far – individually and then in three short collections. And there are two more ready to get published.
