Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That’s just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.
Kari’s first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.
Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.
Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she’s happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they’re better off not knowing more about.
Kari’s novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.

Wyja, Senior Dragonkeeper of the Upper Abramshire Academy, tends to young dragons and keepers alike.
Each group challenging, and exhausting, in their own way.
Unwelcome change sets in when dragon birthrates drop to dangerous levels.
No one knows why.
Can Wyja solve the problem before it's too late?
An excerpt from The Last Dragonkeeper:
The End of Dragonkind?
"Is it true?" one of the other girls said. "About no more dragons?"
Wyja wished she could sooth and reassure them, tell them things far out of their control would be all right. But only for a second.
This was not the time for coddling young keepers far past such niceties. "
Relas speaks truth," Wyja said. "The dragon birth rate is dropping. We're trying to figure out why. Anyone else heard rumors from home?"
They all muttered, glanced at each other, and shook their heads. Only Relas and Leela stayed quiet. Wyja raised her eyebrows and held out one hand. Leela finally spoke.
"My parents are farmers, down in the great flatlands. They're afraid they won't be able to trade without the dragons. For fish or wood or healing herbs, many of the things they need."
Wyja hoped this was a chance worth taking.
Letting the situation get much worse was definitely too much to risk.
