M.E. Proctor is the author of four dystopian science fiction novels, The Savage Crown Series, and a short story collection, Family and Other Ailments – Crime Stories Close to Home (2023, Wordwooze Publishing). She’s a Derringer nominee. Her fiction has appeared in various anthologies and magazines: Vautrin, Pulp Modern, Mystery Tribune, Black Cat Weekly, Thriller Magazine, and Shotgun Honey among others. Even if she leans more toward crime fiction, she still enjoys an occasional foray into horror, fantasy, or science fiction.

Love You Till Tuesday (2024, Shotgun Honey Books) is the first novel in her Declan Shaw PI series. Declan is based in Houston, where M.E. Proctor lived for twenty years.

Proctor was as a freelance journalist for a music magazine, and worked as an advertising account executive, before becoming a corporate communications advisor. She prefers writing fiction.

Born in Brussels, she now lives in Livingston, Texas, with her husband James Lee Proctor, also a writer. After all these years, she still counts in French and struggles with the Imperial system.
