The Lore of Full Moon Fiction
Finding Inspiration in Different Phases
At Full Moon Fiction, storytelling is more than just words on a page—it’s about capturing the bonds that shape us, the adventures that define us, and the heart that ties it all together. There's a phase for every story, a time for every phase, and another full moon waiting if we just hold on long enough.
K. E. Koontz
K. E. Koontz grew up in the quiet sprawl of rural life, where Saturday nights meant bad horror movies, even worse practical effects, and scripts so cheesy they could’ve come from a haunted pizzeria. It was during those golden years of B-movie magic that her love of storytelling began to take root. Over time, that love evolved, shaped by the influences of her family, her experience living with chronic illness, and an unforgettable stint in the world of horse training—a brief but meaningful chapter that taught her the value of resilience, hard work, and finding joy in unexpected places.
​
All of those pieces have come together to create Full Moon Fiction, the creative hub where K. E. Koontz shares her works, delves into the craft of storytelling, and builds something lasting—not just for herself, but for her family and the readers who share her passion for the written word.

At its heart, Full Moon Fiction is a place for dreamers. It’s where gripping horror, heartfelt romance, and imaginative fantasy find a home. It’s a space that honors the messy, magical journey of creating something meaningful and inspires others to chase their own stories, no matter where they begin. It's your often horrific and always welcoming home-away-from-home.
Phase One: The Quarter Moon
This is where it all began: a rural kid with a love for shadows and a Saturday night lineup of low-budget horror gems. My horror writing is deeply personal—a reflection of my experiences with chronic illness, isolation, and finding strength in the face of fear. I don’t just write to scare (though I love a good spine-tingling moment); I write to explore the darkness we all carry and how we fight our way back to the light. From haunted woods to creeping terrors that prey on the mind, my stories are rooted in the belief that the best horror isn’t about what lurks in the dark—it’s about the courage it takes to face it.
Phase Two: The Half Moon
While horror is my foundation, Full Moon Fiction is about more than just scares. It’s also home to my other projects: swoon-worthy romances, heartfelt small-town dramas, fantastical adventures, and even nonfiction works designed to inspire and uplift. Whether you’re looking for stories that make your heart race or your heart melt, this is a space where creativity takes on many forms. Each project is a reflection of my love for storytelling in all its beautiful, messy complexity.

You can find more than just writing here. From minkies and merch to snail-mail letters mailed directly to your door, there are endless points of terrifying fun.
Phase Three: The Full Moon
Here’s where the light shines brightest: The Full Moon Blog. This is where I pull back the curtain on the creative process, sharing the nitty-gritty details behind the stories. Writing tips, personal insights, behind-the-scenes peeks, and even a few stumbles along the way—you’ll find it all here. Whether you’re a fellow writer, an avid reader, or just someone who’s curious about how the magic happens, the blog is a space to connect, learn, and celebrate storytelling in all its phases.
Phase Four: The Waning Moon
The future of Full Moon Fiction is about growth—not just as a creative platform, but as a part of my family’s legacy. This phase is about evolving beyond the page, expanding into projects that sustain, support, and reflect the life I want to build for those I love most. It’s about making Full Moon Fiction more than just a passion project; it’s about turning it into something lasting, something that can shift and grow alongside us. Because at the end of the day, every story I write, every project I create, is for them—and for all of you who’ve joined me under this ever-changing moon.
