KERI ARTHUR was born and bred in Melbourne, Australia, and grew up sharing her life with dragons, elves, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, and the occasional talking horse.

New York Times bestselling author KIM HARRISON is presently living in the more sultry climates of the Southeast, where she can enjoy missing the snow of her childhood more efficiently.
