About the author

Smith was born in Villa Park, Orange County, California. In interviews, she has said she realized she wanted to be a writer sometime between kindergarten and first grade, “when a teacher praised a horrible poem I’d written”, and began writing in earnest in elementary school. Smith received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1987, followed by teaching credentials in Elementary education and Special education from San Francisco State University.

She taught kindergarten and special education for several years before becoming a full-time writer. Her first book, The Night of the Solstice, was published by MacMillan in 1987, followed by, Heart of Valor in 1990, and the 4-volume Vampire Diaries series in 1991-2. Three trilogies followed: The Secret Circle (1992), The Forbidden Game (1994), and Dark Visions (1995). The first installment of her popular Night World series was published in 1996, followed by eight more over the next two years. In 1998, Smith began a decade-long hiatus from writing, returning in 2008 with a new Web site and a series of new short stories. The Vampire Diaries series was reissued in 2007, followed by re-printings of The Secret Circle trilogy and Night World series in 2008/2009. The Night of the Solstice and Heart of Valor was also reissued in 2008. Three new Vampire Diaries installments were published in 2009 and 2010.

Smith lived in the San Francisco Bay area “with one dog, three cats, and about ten thousand books.”

She passed away on March 8th, 2025, after a lengthy illness.

ماجرای هیجانی این جلد درست مثل قبلی شمارو وادار به ادامه دادن و تموم کردنش میکنه
شخصیت سازی واقعا خوبه! اینو باید تو ریویو جلد قبلی میگفتم یادم رفت🫠
شما از همون جلد اول با تک تک شخصیتا و خصوصیاتشون آشنا میشین و هرچی جلوتر میاین بهتر و دقیق تر درکشون می‌کنین!

داشتم فکر میکردم نویسنده ها واقعا کرم دارن😂 از عمد شخصیت ویلن داستان رو جذاب و خفن به‌وجود میارن که عاشقشون شی و بعدشم شکست عشقی بخوری و نابود شی!
وگرنه خیلی راحت میتونستن یه آدم کریه و زشت و ترسناک بسازن که تازه فحش خورشونم ملس باشه!

این مجموعه کتاب چون نسبتا قدیمیه و حتی ترجمه شم قدیمیه خیلی سانسور خورده!
البته اصلا صحنه های بدی نداره فقط در حد کیس که کاملا با ساتور سانسور خورده😂
پس ترجیحا یا زبان اصلی بخونین یا با زبان اصلی بخونیدش!
