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 excerpt from Sunny with a Chance of Happiness:
An Unexpected Guest, Right on Time
George took a deep, nostalgia-laced breath, reached for his socks, and froze.
A rustling noise erupted from the trees and brush to his right.
Too big to be a squirrel.
Not big enough to be a bear, right? Anyway, black bears weren't likely to be too aggressive this time of year. No brand-new cubs to keep an eye on like back in the early spring.
Still, George strained to listen and see, ready to head for the front door in a hurry. He'd heard the rumors about mountain lions still hanging on in an area they were supposedly extinct from.
Heard more than a few of those bone-chilling screams in the night, too.
When the brush finally parted, he let out a grunt and relaxed a little.
Not a bear or any sort of cat after all.
A dog burst out into the yard instead.
