Laurell K Hamilton

Laurell Kaye Hamilton is the author of the #1 New York Times best-selling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series and the Merry Gentry, Fey Detective series. A Terrible Fall of Angels, the first novel in an exciting new series, features Detective Zaniel Havelock in a world where angels and demons walk among us. With more than 40 novels published, Laurell continues to create groundbreaking fiction inspired by her lifelong love of monster movies, ghost stories, mythology, folklore, and things that go bump in the night. Her love of the macabre, books in general, animals, and nature led her to degrees in English and biology. She is a non-practicing biologist but uses her science to add an extra level of realism to her fiction. She currently lives in St. Louis with her family, two spoiled Japanese chins, a house panther, and a house lion. In her free time, Laurell trains in Filipino martial arts with a specialization in blade work, and travels to scuba dive and bird watch as often as she can. Laurell is involved with a number of animal charities, particularly supporting dog rescue efforts and wildlife preservation. The old Hammer Vampire films are some of her first entertainment influences, especially Vampire Circus, also known as Circus of Fear.
