Kim Harrison was born and raised in the upper Midwest.

When not at her desk, she's most likely to be found landscaping her new/old Victorian home, or scouring antique shops to fill it.

"Fast-paced and entertaining." (Publishers Weekly) "The world-building is incomparable" (Fresh Fiction) "The pace and tone of A Perfect Blood reflects its protagonist: a little more cautious, reflective and purposeful, and the book is more powerful as a result...Harrison provides the strongest and most self-assured Rachel we've seen yet." (Miami Herald on A PERFECT BLOOD) "Harrison's colorful cast of supporting characters keeps the story moving among the fast-paced action scenes. Longtime fans will obviously be standing in line for this one. However, readers with any interest in urban fantasy can easily jump into the story." (Library Journal on A PERFECT BLOOD)
