Kelley Armstrong's Blog

Not a question, I just discovered Darkest Powers the other day and finished The Reckoning this morning. I loved it so much I’m already rereading it to tie myself over until I can get the rest from my library, and as a paranormal fiction author, myself. You

I’m so glad to hear this! I hope it does inspire you to write something longer!

Hi Kelley, I’m not sure if you’re active on here as much. I’m a big fan of the Otherworld series and after re-reading a billion times, I’ve started on the audiobooks. It’s like an added way to escape back in to this universe! However, there are so many tit

I know. It’s an ongoing issue that I’m struggling to resolve with the publisher. There doesn't’ seem to be a lot of interest in resolving it on their end, and I can’t personally do anything (other than periodically email to remind them it’s still an issue--in both the UK and Canada)

Ive been reading Murder at Havens Rock in Net Gallery and I have about the events that take place in Chapter 14.

I’ll need more details ;) if there’s an error or something is unclear & it’s a spoiler, pop an email to me at mail@kelleyarmstrong.com

Knowing the author doesn’t have control over the cover, I was wondering if you know why we Canadians didn’t get a matching cover for This Fallen Prey with City of the Lost and A Darkness Absolute? I love to have my covers matching, and now they won’t, and

Yeah, I know readers hate that. What happened is that I switched to a different imprint at the same publisher, one that does more mystery/thrillers, and they decided to start matching the US cover (and the US also switched to a new style of cover with this book) That’s what seems to happen early in a series, as they try to decide what cover best represents the books. I think I have about 8 English language covers for Bitten!

Rating My Reads on Goodreads

I'm always encouraging readers to review/rate books because it makes a huge difference for us. Even a critical review helps readers make choices. However, I've refrained from rating anything myself here because...well, as an author, I don't want to give a poor review to a "colleague"! I've decided to start rating my reads, but only if I can give them a 4 or 5. I've zoomed through and rated my reading material for the last few months. For me, a 4 means "Loved this!" and a 5 is "I was blown away." So, yeah, I'm not an easy grader ;) Four stars is high praise from me. And if I can't give it that, I won't rate it here.

Hi Kelley! I finished rereading Living with the Dead and I was wondering what happened to Finn and Robyn? Do you plan on writing a story based around them? Thank you!! I

I always meant to…and never got around to it. I still might. Of all the dropped threads in that series (and yes, there are a few!) that’s the one I feel the worst about :)

Hi Kelley! I was looking on Amazon and saw that you have a story featured in the anthology Urban Enemies. I looked on your website and it wasn’t posted there. I was just wondering if there was a description on the story? Thank you! I’m a huge fan!!!

Sorry! I haven’t updated that list in a while. This is a Cainsville story. It doesn’t have an official description, but the informal one I’ve given is “In Betrayals, one of our antagonists is a rogue Huntsman. In the final battle, he tries to tell his story, as every good villain does, right? The tale of personal injustice that led to their villainy, blah, blah. Except Liv doesn’t let him. As she says, “This isn’t the time for backstory” ;) So now he gets to tell it, in a short story called Hounded..”

Hi Kelley, I have just finished Bounty Hunt and Driven, and even though it makes me very sad that Otherworld series is finished, I don’t think I could have read any other ending. You are an amazing writer and absolutely loved Xaviere Daumarie art, which br
