Author Bio
Wednesday Lee Friday was born November 24th, 1970 in Royal Oak, Michigan. It was a Tuesday.
After deciding against being a ballerina, an ichthyologist, and a famous singer, she decided to become a novelist just before starting kindergarten.
Wednesday went to college in Olivet, Michigan where she majored in theatre and broadcasting for some reason. She wrote and produced radio dramas for WOCR-FM and directed occasional performances at the Oaks Theatre. Much to her parent's dismay, she intended to investigate a career in technical theatre. She began working in professional theatre in 1993. She enjoyed it immensely until her paychecks bounced, forcing her to find work that would actually pay the bills. Wednesday worked many varied jobs including fast-food manager, copywriter, reptile wrangler, tarot reader, radio commentator, activist, cashier, community organizer, video store manager, phone sex operator, violin salesman, and concierge to name a few.
In 2004, Wednesday won her first attempt at NaNoWriMo with 80% of the draft for: A Stabbing for Sadie. After its completion the following year, Wednesday began the long search for a publisher. She amassed many, many rejection letters until she finally received a positive response from Kris Stamp of StoneGarden.net publishing. Preview chapters are available as audiobook podcasts on iTunes and at the author's website. A Stabbing for Sadie is now available in a 2nd Edition from Crossroad Press.
Her third novel, Kiss Me Like You Love Me, took three years to write. The story of a serial killer and his boyhood friend was released Valentine's Day 2010. It is now available in a 2nd Edition from Crossroad Press. It is damn scary and crazy dark. Preview chapters are available as audiobook podcasts on iTunes and at the author's website.
The Finster Effect. A horrifying tale of zombies, pets gone mad, and the perils of small town living; she had a swell time writing it. Wednesday Lee Friday's fourth novel promises to scare the hell out of you, and maybe even make you throw the book across the room in disgust and abject horror. Please, don't void your Kindle warranty on her account.
Her latest, Creepy, Stabby, and Mentally Odd is a dark collection of shorts that will test reader expectations of what an anthology can be. It features bleak horror, sexual savagery, dark comedy, and even some cannibal comics.
Currently Wednesday lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with her husband. She is a member of the Horror Writer's Association, and also enjoys Shostakovich, Dexter, loom knitting, crafty things, quality horror of all kinds, and kettle-cooked potato chips. She covers TV and movies for 411Mania, sexy stuff at Kinkly.com, and has done a ton of ghostwriting...though not about ghosts. Hit her up on Facebook, Instagram, and @WednesFri on Twitter.
