About this author

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.

She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far to...more

“You forget, darling.
I am the local psychopath.”
Kelley Armstrong, Bitten

“Derek caught my arm again as I started to move--at this rate, it was going to be as sore as my injured one.
"Dog," he said, jerking his chin toward the fenced yard. "It was inside earlier."
Expecting to see a Doberman slavering at the fence, I followed his gaze to a little puff of white fur, the kind of dog women stick in their purses. It wasn't even barking, just staring at us, dancing in place.
"Oh, my God! It's a killer Pomeranian." I glanced up at Derek. "It's a tough call, but I think you can take him.”
Kelley Armstrong, The Awakening

“He pivoted, gaze following me as I crossed to the shower and turned on the cold water, so it would drown out our conversation without steaming up the room.
Great," he muttered."Now they're going to think we're showering together. Maybe we can just tell them we were washing off the crawl space dirt and trying to conserve water.”
Kelley Armstrong, The Summoning

And you may not remember me, but you signed The Summoning for me when you were in The Woodlands with Kim Harrison and Kimberly Derting on June 4. Thank you!!


Florentine Hi Kelley... i'm from Indonesia.. really like your books. I finished The Reckoning, and I hope there's another (really one more Chloe and Derek..)... so AMAZING!!!


message 40: by Kelsiee

Kelsiee Hi Kelley,
I borrowed the Summoning from my friend, who really enjoyed it,
and I loved it so much I went out and bought the other two when they came out!
I love the twist you put on a series that has things that were adapted by many different authors.
I absolutely love the darkest powers.
Keep writing,
Kelsie,
from Canada


message 39: by Brooke

Brooke Hi Kelly,

I just wanted to let you know that I started your series yesterday, devoured The Summoning (read it all in one sitting!) and proceeded to order the following two books last night. Such an excellent book, I cannot WAIT to get the next two, wow!

Take care :o)

Brooke, Australia.


Samantha My friend’s 11 yr old daughter (Leah) received a book series (that I will not name) as a Christmas gift. This series is geared towards 10-13 yr old girls, and it was assumed that it would be a suitable series for her to read. She left it at my place, and I dutifully noted that she was on page 29 when I decided to read the first few chapters. By page 55, I had to call my friend and read her a paragraph that described a sex act. It was decided that I would read the entire series and see if it was suitable or not (we would have blacked out this part if it was the only bit). It wasn’t. It got worse. Now, as a precaution, I pre-read all the popular series out there, and give the yay or nay. The Darkest Powers series has received a huge YAY. I am a big fan of the Otherworld series, and I enjoyed the three books in the DP series immensely. Thanks for giving us these wonderful books, and creating these fantastic worlds to escape to . September 25th is a planned date for Leah and I, as we head to The Smart Chicks Kick It Tour to (fingers crossed) meet you and get our favourite books signed.


vampire_lover55 I finished The Reckoning like a week ago!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!! I loved it..... PLEASE TELL ME YOU WERE KIDDING WHEN YOU SAID THAT WAS THE LAST BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want more of Derek and Chloe!!


message 36: by Ghelo

message 35: by Michaela (last edited Apr 13, 2010 03:17pm)

Michaela I just want to thank you Kelley for writing such amazing books! I finished the Reckoning last week, and it was AMAZING! I can't wait to read the Gathering and to get to know the new characters. While I will always want more Chloe and the gang I know the next trilogy will be great! Btw the ending to the Reckoning was PERFECT!

Maura Thanks for the add Kelley. I fell in love with your books about 5 years ago when I picked up Stolen. I realized it was book two so I picked up Bitten and for the first and only time in my life I read two books at the same time.

I love your writing and I love the little references to Canada all the time (like Wpg in Frostbitten (my hometown)).

Thanks for the hours of pleasure.
