Bio
Family, haunted houses, and traveling the world is at the heart of Camille Faye's writing.
Camille Faye loves learning about other cultures, which is good since she married an Indian man from Malaysia. She also visits haunted places, which sparks her imagination with tales about the paranormal. As a tween, she would type stories about princesses in faraway kingdoms on her mom’s electric typewriter. She went on to write for her high school and college newspapers, report local news for an NBC affiliate, and teach writing at universities in Missouri and Illinois.
Eventually she made time to follow her dream of writing a novel. She found the muse for her debut work, Voodoo Butterfly, during a family trip to New Orleans where she dreamt of a woman who had the power to change evil people good.
The Northwest Houston division of Romance Writers of America named Voodoo Butterfly a 2013 Lone Star Contest finalist. The people and settings found in all of Camille's stories are inspired by her family life and her travels to 28 countries and counting!
