Author Information

Kinley MacGregor

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kinley MacGregor/Sherrilyn Kenyon lives a life of extraordinary danger...as does any woman with three sons, a husband, a menagerie of pets, and a collection of swords that all of the above have a major fixation with. But when not running interference (or dashing off to the emergency room), she can be found chained to her computer, where she likes to play with all her imaginary friends. With more than sixteen million copies of her books in print in over thirty countries, she certainly has a lot of friends to play with, too.
Writing as Kinley MacGregor and Sherrilyn Kenyon, she is an international phenomenon and the author of several series, including The Dark-Hunters, The League, Brotherhood of the Sword, Lords of Avalon, and Nevermore. Her books always appear at the top of The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today lists. She is also the first paranormal genre author to put a paranormal novel on The New York Times print list and to make an international bestselling list--the first to hit #1 more than once and the only one to land in that spot four times in a single year, or to spend more than one week in the #1 spot. Her first paranormal novel sold in 1992, making her one of the longest-writing authors in the genre.

The Kenyon Minions are a million strong and growing every day, all over the world. Join in the fun!

Editorial Reviews

Pirates and passion on the high seas are the stuff of MacGregor's late-18th-century romance. Spunky and tenacious Serenity James wants to be a reporter, but her father won't allow her to do anything more than edit copy for his Savannah, Ga., newspaper. The determined miss takes the initiative, sneaking one of her stories into the publication without her father's knowledge. Serenity's storytelling prowess and imagination, however, brush too close to the truth regarding the real identity of the handsome privateer, Captain Morgan Drake. Convinced that Serenity somehow knows that he was once a notorious pirate, the captain intends to stop her from revealing his secret. Serenity is kidnapped and taken aboard the infamous Sea Wolf. While ensuing events are a bit predictable (it's not long until the handsome hero takes Serenity to bed), all is not lost. MacGregor's cast of supporting characters add spice, and her admirable flair for the comic is sure to entertain. (Apr.) -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

Excerpt from A Pirate of Her Own by Kinley MacGregor

"Well? What do you think?"

Douglas Adams smiled at the hopeful enthusiasm on Serenity James's face. She looked much as she had the very first time he'd met her almost twenty years ago. Only, then she'd been covered in dirt, her dress and stockings torn, while she clutched a shiny apple to her tiny five-year-old chest. An apple she'd climbed high into a tree to claim.

Though her face no longer bore the childhood cherub quality he'd first grown to love, it still held that sparkling romanticism that had prompted her to climb the tree and proclaim herself Helen of Troy clutching the Golden Apple of Venus.

I think it's your best story yet," he said at last, deciding he had kept her long enough in suspense.

His reward was an even brighter smile, one that lit her face and made her eyes glow like indigo fire.

Though far from a stunning beauty, Serenity held her own special quality that set her apart from the other women her age. Even a married man of Douglas's advanced years couldn't quite deny her unique charms or appeal.

Serenity leaned over his desk and looked upside down at the sheets of paper he held. "You don't think the ending is overly dramatic, do you?" She looked up to meet his gaze. "I tried not to make it too dramatic. But you know how I can get sometimes when I--"

"Nay, I don't think so," he said with a smile, cutting her off.
