Caitlin Neal-Jones

Caitlin Neal-Jones hails from the Appalachian region of East Tennessee where the deep hollows and cold mountain shadows fed her love of horror fiction. At age 15, Caitlin received her first literary accolade when she won an English class writing competition with a short story about a fictionalized version of her favorite bluegrass band encountering the locally mythicized Brown Mountain Lights. Caitlin has been fortunate to call Louisiana her home since 2016. She’s proud to be part of a vibrant and growing writing scene in Lafayette with organizations such as National Writing Project of Acadiana and Acadiana Scribes. When she’s not writing, Caitlin can most often be found haunting Reve Coffee Roasters or Beausoleil Books in downtown Lafayette.
