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.

An Appalachian Crime Story
Private Investigator Helen Hartsock returns home to the Appalachian Mountains.
Searching for a missing person hardly anyone misses.
She finds Martha Phelps: a woman with a mysterious past and fiercely loyal friends.
And a deep knowledge of the secrets the mountains hold.
Will Helen get answers, or regret asking in the first place?
An excerpt from The Definition of Crime:
A Mystery Almost No One Cares to Solve
Helen was determined to follow the path to wherever Rodney Blevins ended his days, no matter how it twisted or turned. Almost as determined as his family, even if no one else seemed to care.
She pretended to read and watched Martha load everything into one washer while everyone else was still busy sorting into two, sometimes three machines. All typical behavior for this crew.
But instead of standing around and chatting with her friends, Martha stared right at Helen.
Not good.
Then she walked over and sat beside her, which was worse.
"Figured I should introduce myself," Martha said, her voice quiet but a bit rough, as if she'd shouted a lot in her life. "Since we seem to have noticed each other for several days in a row now."
