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.

Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. 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 too many pets.

He won't like being away at college by himself, even if it's only for a single term (as they discuss in Atoning) but he'll survive.
I wouldn't say he's significantly better looking now, but that doesn't mean no girl would notice him. He'd treat it the same way Clay does--or Elena or Chloe. He's found what he's wants to purchase so he's done shopping ;)(less)

Quotes by Kelley Armstrong  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn 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

“You were just worried about me."
An exhale, relieved that I had understood. "Yeah"
I turned. "Because you think I'm worth it"
He put his fingers under my chin. "I absolutely think your worth it."
"But you don't think you are."
His mouth opened. Shut.
"That's what this is about, Derek. You won't let us worry about you because you don't think you're worth it. But I do. I absolutely do.”
― Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

Kia Amazona Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. I'm a huge fan of your Darkest Powers books!


message 95: by Judith

Judith Bellemare Hi Kelley,

I only wanted to let you know that I appreciate your work and that you are in fact, one of my favourite authors. As an adult, I particularly enjoyed the series in Cainsville, and I'm looking forward to the next book.
Having read a lot of in fantastic literature, I can honestly tell you that you have a great writing style and a very flourishing imagination. Also, the fact that you introduce the heroes universe very smoothly doesn't make the reader feel like he's "simple" and this is something that I can't say about many of your fellow writers.

It's also great to be able to read a book where the action is taking place (sometimes) in Canada. I've been living in Scotland for two years now and reading the "Gathering" made me miss the generous nature we have in Canada. So, thank you for making my life more enjoyable, one book at the time.

Rusty Nugent Thanks for your friendship. :)

Sarah Thank you for accepting my friend request! I just read (and loved) your Darkest Powers series and am so looking forward to reading the Darkness Rising series, as well. :)


message 82: by Tori

Tori Stegle Hey Kelley! I finally found some good information on your books, especially the Darkest Powers series :) I cannot wait to get them & read them! Did you create the 'Tori' character just for me?? I'll totally play her in a TV/movie adaptation HAHA. I mean it is my name after all :P


message 81: by Jesse

Jesse Hi Kelley, I literally just finished Thirteen and wanted to say thank you for a wonderful end to one of my all-time favorite series! I'm glad there are still short pieces you plan on releasing that fit into the Otherworld, but I'm also excited to fall in love with your new projects. Savannah and Adam have always been two of my very favorite characters and I was happy to get to "ride along" with them for the last hurrah. Thank you for the years of enjoyment and characters that are too real to ever completely fade away. -Jesse


message 80: by Lily

Lily Thank you for adding me. I think your darkest powers series is really awesome. I am going to keep looking for your books.


message 79: by Alyssa

Alyssa Hi Kelley! Thanks for accepting me as a friend :) I have to tell you that the Otherworld Series has been by far my favorite series to read. Elena and Clay are my two favorite characters - I could read about them all day!! Please don't stop writing about the weres! We need a book for when the twins grow up and find mates!

Again, thank you for doing what you do. You are a blessing to those of us who need to get away from our everyday lives just for a bit.

PS, please come to a signing in Chicago!! :)
