Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the #1 NYT bestselling author of the "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, the "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Nadia Stafford" crime series.
