Meet Kerrelyn
Kerrelyn Sparks’ first paranormal romance, How
to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, zoomed
out of the bat cave so fast it became Borders bestselling
debut romance of 2005. Each book in
the Love at Stake series has become a USAToday bestseller. When
the fourth book, The Undead Next Door,
landed on the New York Times bestseller
list, even the Undead sat up and took notice, which
made Kerrelyn a bit nervous. She lives in the Greater
Houston area with her husband, children, and a
house full of garlic. So far, there are no
vampires in her family. Werewolves are another
matter entirely.

of a full moon.
