About Chantell

Chantell Renee is a Horror author. Though she has an Urban Fantasy series and short works that range from Science Fiction Fantasy to Dark Romance. She is also an artist, musician, hairstylist and podcaster.

She has been writing short stories and poetry since she fell in love with the words at the young age of twelve. The idea that she could ever write a novel seemed unbelievable, but she proved herself capable of doing just that. She’s been releasing a new book a year since 2017. 

“There would be mornings I’d spend an hour writing down my dreams for story ideas. I’d be late to work happily because I was so excited about the idea.”

While many writers focus on the beauty of language, Chantell Renee puts an emphasis on how words can alter a reader’s perspective of the world around them. This not only entertains but also creates new experiences for the reader in a way. 

Throughout Chantell’s life, she has witnessed and survived many challenges that ultimately privileged her with what most have noted as a unique look at the world. This is something she’s pulled from in creating many of her horror tales.

This has also influenced the dark art projects she dreams up. She has gotten into making jewelry with ethically sourced animal bones, acrylics, turning ordinary home decor into goth wall hangings. Weekly she records a show with author Dicey Grenor on the Sex & Horror Podcast. These two ladies met while doing the Comicpalooza Comic con in Houston. From there it was only a matter of time for the dream team to tackle the world of podcasting. The podcast has surpassed 200 episodes and continues.

Chantell Renee is a native Texan, born and raised in Houston, where she currently resides. Besides spending time with fellow authors in the effort of writing, she has also volunteered time to Writer’s Guild and Writespace Houston.  As a POC, Chantell makes sure to support all people of any race, sexual preference and artist in general. With so much of history being covered up, she feels it’s important to tell your story through your art.
