MM Schreier is a classically trained vocalist who took up writing as therapy for a mid-life crisis.
Whether contemporary or speculative fiction, favorite stories are dark and rich in sensory details. Weird twists abound—fiction with just enough truth thrown in to make folks question. Or perhaps that's non-fiction that's somehow gotten twisted up in imagination.
A firm believer that people are not always exclusively right- or left-brained, in addition to creative pursuits, Schreier is on the Leadership Team for a robotics company and tutors maths and science to at-risk youth. After years of living in the Great White North, Schreier and a very spoiled Labrador Retriever have inched a bit south to become beach bums at Chilly by the Sea.

As a child of Kentucky and Texas, bluegrass and bluebonnets share equal time in my blood, fueling a need for adventure and exploration, and a keen desire to see what is out there.
This is my third evolution as a writer, starting as a young boy inventing adventures for my toys and friends. In school, I wrote to fulfill assignments and map out the world. Now, I write for the same reason I read: I want to know what happens next.
Stories can make us laugh or smile, scream or cry, sometimes at the same time. In the best stories, we let the pages tell us what we need to see inside ourselves.
My fiction ranges from horror to historical, and I placed in a short story contest when one of my first stories found a home in Evolution: Vol 1, published by Evolved Publishing. Outside of the Lone Star state, I won the Arkansas Writer’s Conference Special Award (2009) and the Creme De La Creme Award (2014) from the Oklahoma Writer’s Federation, Inc. for best overall story.
