Kelley Armstrong (born 1968) [http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/fSchool.htm Bio for school projects] ] is a Canadian author, primarily of fantasy works.

She has published ten fantasy novels to date, all set in the world of "Women of the Otherworld" series, and one crime fiction novel. Armstrong has confirmed contracts with her American, British and Canadian publishers for novels seven through ten in this series. The seventh novel in this series was published April 1, 2007. She has also written several serial novellas and short stories for the Otherworld series, which are available free from her website.

Armstrong's first crime novel was released in July 2007.

Biography

Kelley Armstrong is married with three children; the family lives in rural Ontario. [http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/mAuthor.htm Author bio] ] She was born in 1968, the oldest of four siblings in a "typical middle class family" in Ontario. After graduating with a degree in psychology, Armstrong then switched to studying computer programming at Fanshawe College so she would have time to write. Her first novel "Bitten" was sold in 1999, and it was released in 2001. Following her first success she has written a total of ten novels and a number of novellas in the world of the "Women of the Otherworld" series, and her first crime novel, "Exit Strategy", was released July 2007. Armstrong has been a full-time writer and parent since 2002.

Her novel "No Humans Involved" was a "New York Times" bestseller in the hardback fiction category on May 20, 2007.

Description of Work

Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld" series is part of a recently popular contemporary fantasy subgenre of the fantasy genre that superimposes supernatural characters upon a backdrop of contemporary North American life, with strong romantic elements. Within that subgenre, she is notable for including many types of supernatural characters, including witches, sorcerers, werewolves, ghosts, shamans, demons and vampires, rather than limiting herself primarily to a single type of supernatural creature. Most of her works have a mystery genre plot, with leading characters investigating some novel situation or unsolved question.

In "Otherworld" novels to date, most supernatural powers are either hereditary, or arise from the act of an existing supernatural of the same type. The "Otherworld", while it has overarching conflicts and plotlines that span multiple novels is, thus far, not an epic battle between good and evil. The novels are largely episodic with the continuing plotlines primarily involving the developing lives of the main characters.
