About this author

History is Killian's primary love in life, outside her family and, yes, sadly her dog. Therefore, her works of fiction often are packaged inside historical wrappers, as she tugs and twists on the edges of reality to ask the ever-present "What if?"

Born and raised in rural Michigan, Killian used the local library- a single room in her village's firehouse- as an escape, before actually escaping to the relative jungle of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. There, after several minor attempts to establish a major, she finally completed a BA in Turkic History and nearly attempted a Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance.

Description: The following is a true story. The names and locations have been changed to protect the stupid. By guilt/association as the author, I admit that the “I” of this story is actually “I.” I mean, “me.” Slight embellishments have been made so that my early life seems a lot more interesting than it was.

A Love by Any Measure by Killian McRae
" An Irish lass and an English lord... a ticking clock... This was an epic read. A real page turner. Full of romance and suspense, achingly sweet and equally beautiful. The author writes like a poetess: "If you should ask for forever, I'll be there... "

A funny and engageing paranormal romance with unpredictable twists, highlighting Anastasia's gift for witty repartee and delightful banner. And really, let's be honest, we all really fall for Satan Jack, right?

Pamela Hey Killian...Thanks for accepting my friend request.


Sangria3 I had only intended on getting the reading sample from Amazon.com but after reading just 3 of the reviews I went ahead and bought it... like they say, "Go with your first instinct." Can't wait to read it!! :D

I was really surprised at how well HG hooked me. That one line was a little bit of humor in a world full of pain, so it really sticks out.

It's cool that the theme doesn't appeal to you. Everyone likes a different brew, and sometimes what I write isn't just what a person is into.

Do you have collection of funny quotes people have sent you? I'd like to read that list.


Therese Malmström Hi! Thanks for adding me, and it was a funny quote, even though I don't know the connection, 'cause I haven't read The Hunger Games triology yet, I have the first one at home, though.
And, I've seen your book before, but I don't like the theme, so I haven't added it to my wishlist, I'd like to be oblivious about stuff, it works for me. :)


CorLostForWords Hi Killian, Thank you for the friend request! :D Happy New Year! :)


William O'Brien Hi Killian - Thank you for your friendship.
