Jinx is a blousy, brassy redheaded ball of accidental crassness. She loves horror. And whiskey. And referring to herself in the third person, she does not think this makes her sound like a massive knob at all. She resides in the badlands of Newcastle with a husband and two small white cats where she writes a bit, gets overexcited about almost every movie she sees and plans for the zombie apocalypse. She also loves Ron Perlman and sharks.
“Jinx at Totally Jinxed will just riff on whatever catches her fancy (beards, Ron Perlman, and being David Bowie in Labyrinth) or do an in-depth movie review of a movie I had no idea exists. My Netflix queue grows exponentially just by virtue of her being in my Google Reader. She also seems like an extremely nice person with extremely red hair. And she has a stuffed piranha. You gotta give it up for girlfriend.’’ Tim Grant, Post-Mortem Depression
''Jinx has to be one of the most unique people I've had the pleasure of "meeting" over the Internet and a trip to her blog always proves to be filled with laughs, sea monsters, lots of alcohol, and adorable kittens. If that's not a recommendation to get you to mosey on over to her place, then I don't what is.'' Joe Monster, From Beyond Depraved
'let me advise any readers who have somehow not yet found their way to Totally Jinxed, or remind those who just haven't stopped by there recently, that it really is the most consistently inspiring, surprising, eclectic, evocative and enjoyable horror blog I know.Speaking as someone who was there virtually from the start, it's terrific to see the word getting around. The world of horror blogs is full of great things: the first of these is Totally Jinxed.' Matthew Coniam,Carfax Abbey
'Three great things have come out of Newcastle: Newcastle Brown Ale (a.k.a. Newkie Brahn), Jimmy Nail (Oz in ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Pet’) and Jinx, one of the sassiest no-bullshit bloggers (of either sex) you’re ever likely to encounter. Her profile reads “flame haired tattooed love goddess”. What’s not to like?' Neil Fulwood,The Agitation of the Mind
