Who is Author Kelley Armstrong

As a fan of Laurell K Hamilton, I needed something to read while waiting for the next Anita Blake novel to be published. Browsing the shelves at my local library, I came across a title that caught my attention. It was Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, and it was the first installment in the The Women Of The Otherworld series.

After reading the synopsis - a female werewolf trying to come to terms with her curse - I was intrigued and I took the book home. I fell in love with Bitten and had to get my hands on the rest of the series. On my next trip to the library, I checked out all of the Otherworld novels that were available and reserved the ones that were not. After a couple of weeks, I had read the entire series, and Kelley Armstrong had gained a fan for life.

Kelley Armstrong is married with three children; the family lives in rural Ontario. She was born in 1968, the oldest of four siblings in a "typical middle class family" in England. After graduating with a degree in psychology, Armstrong then switched to studying computer programming at Fanshawe College so she would have time to write. Her first novel Bitten was sold in 1999, and it was released in 2001. Following her first success she has written a total of six novels and a number of novellas in the Women of the Otherworld series, and her first crime novel, Exit Strategy, was released July 2007. Armstrong has been a full-time writer and parent since 2002.

Her novel No Humans Involved was a New York Times bestseller in the hardback fiction category on May 20, 2007.

Kelley's newest series to date is her Darkest Powers series. These books are designed for young adult readers. This series will run parallel to the Otherworld series, but will not intersect the story.

The first book in the Darkest Powers series will be The Summoning and is due to be released in July of 2008.

Here is what Kelley has to say about the series:

"Darkest Powers is a young adult urban fantasy trilogy. It's set in the same universe as my Otherworld series, but with entirely new characters. The first book, The Summoning, is due out July 1, 2008. I've created a new website for the trilogy, which you'll find at www.ChloeSaunders.com (Chloe is the narrator). You'll find some general information on the page here for The Summoning, but there's a lot more there (more information, contests, bonus material, blog etc)".Source: KelleyArmstrong.com
