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.

A Magical Second Chance
Quinn Hedges treasures her life and her friends in St. Louis. A chance to repay kindness from her past seems risk-free.
Until a love from her past shows up.
Doug Linton finally gets his life together. Still he wonders about his one true love from a long time ago.
Seeing her again feels worth the risk.
Neither expects a bizarre heirloom, and the potential of finally getting it right, to take them into the strange.
Can Quinn and Doug find their way through possibilities to each other?
An excerpt from The Box of Possibilities:
Face-to-Face with What Could Have Been
The vehicle slowly resolved itself into a Jeep Cherokee, and a fairly new, nice-looking one at that. The lack of a front license plate was odd, since Illinois and Missouri required them.
From what Quinn could see of the driver, Cousin Jenny was quite tall.
And had unusually broad shoulders for a woman.
By the time the Cherokee's turn signal flashed for some unknown and oddly hilarious reason out here in the absolute middle of nowhere, Quinn's heart sank and sped up at the same time.
She kept looking at the passenger seat, trying to conjure the woman she'd never seen before. Perhaps accompanied by her husband or son.
But the seat remained empty.
And when the Jeep parked behind her car, Quinn finally stopped pretending.
That was Doug.
Even through the dusty windshield, there was no mistaking that smile.
