Shadowed Ground (15 page)

About the Author:

Vicki Keire
grew up in a 19th Century haunted house in the Deep South full of books, abandoned coal chutes, and plenty of places to get into trouble with her siblings. She holds advanced degrees in 18th Century British Literature, Romanticism, and Postcolonial Theory. She has taught writing and literature at a large, football-obsessed university while slipping paranormal fiction in between the pages of her textbooks. She is the author of the bestselling Angel’s Edge series, which includes Gifts of the Blood and its sequel, Darkness in the Blood. She is included in the Dark Tomorrows anthology with
J.L. Bryan
and
Amanda Hocking
.

When not reading and writing about all things paranormal, she enjoys other people’s cooking and keeps vampire hours. She’d rather burn the laundry than fold it, and believes that when an author wins the Newberry, he or she gets a secret lifetime pass to Neverland. She is fond of lost causes and loud music. She still lives in the Deep South with her husband, children, and attendant menagerie, but is pretty sure her house isn’t haunted. A person can’t be so lucky twice.
