With more than twelve million copies of her books in print in twenty-eight countries, #1 New York Times best-selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon burst onto the publishing scene with her crossover novel Born of the Night, an out of print novel that now, twelve years after publication, is deemed the Holy Grail by her fans. On the rare occasions when it appears on eBay, it commands more than forty times its original cover price. The rarest of her books is the e-novel Born of Fire (one of the first e-books ever published in the mid 1990's and a launch book for Dreams-Unlimited) which commands well over $400.00 any time it appears at auction.

But it was her groundbreaking Dark-Hunter vampire novels that catapulted her into superstardom, making her series one of the most eagerly awaited in publishing history. Her books were an overnight sensation that have given her an international cult following with devout fans in more than forty-five countries and landed her at the top of multiple bestseller lists including the New York Times, Publisher's Weekly and USA Today. And many of her titles are perennial bestsellers in the US, Germany, Australia and the UK, under multiple genre listings. She's also made international bestselling lists including the Globe and Mail (Canada) in both hardcover and paper back. Her web site has had in the last two years alone over fourteen million visitors total from more than forty countries. She averages just over 200,000 visitors a week (more whenever she has a new release).

A versatile, award-winning writer, Sherrilyn has carved out multiple bestselling series in numerous genres and subgenres (Science Fiction, Romance, Fantasy, Horror, Contemporary, Historical, Suspense, Futuristic, Urban Fantasy, High Fantasy and Time Travel).
