100 word Bio

Kim Harrison, dark urban fantasy author of the New York Times bestselling White Witch, Black Curse, was born and raised in the upper Midwest.  After gaining her bachelors in the sciences, she moved to South Carolina, where she has remained since.  She is currently developing a new young adult series between working on the Hollows books, and is a member of both the Romance Writers of America and The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.  When not at her desk, she is most likely to be found chasing down good chocolate, exquisite sushi, or the ultimate dog chew.
