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 Sometimes Strange Magic Casts the Best Spell:
Sweet Surprises in Unusual Packages
"AJ showed up like that," Suzy said, "a couple of months before our last sweet kitty left us. The vet said he might have been born with his special design. I think it makes him extra sensitive to whatever we poor humans need. Speaking of which, are you all set? Got someone to kiss at midnight? That nice Sandy who came to the Thanksgiving party, maybe?"
Jordan gently set AJ down, muttering apologies the whole time. He let out his usual high-pitched two-part meow—meeee waaaah—before he thumped toward the open door to the spa. The Fletchers swore he was a great mouser, but Jordan remained unconvinced.
This was not a cat who moved on silent little feet.
Jordan wanted to follow him instead of answering Suzie's friendly and entirely reasonable question. She was eager to send her recent dating life off to the dustbin of history exactly like this year, this century, and this thousand years.
