Linking to news, reviews, and interviews with the urban fantasy author.

“It is very important to me that the series doesn’t just peter out.”

Kim Harrison’s urban fantasy The Hollows series is set in an alternate universe where supernatural beings (vampires, werewolves, witches, what have you) live among the human population, and the historical Space Race was replaced by a competition among the nations in genetic engineering. The series stars bounty hunter witch Rachel Morgan, who works with local law enforcement and faces threats both natural and and supernatural.

Harrison is also the author of the futuristic suspense trilogy The Peri Reed Chronicles, starring an on-the-run ex-special task agent. Betrayed by the man she thought she loved and the agency who turned her into the very thing she fought against, a love based on lies of omission might still save her life.

This fall, Harrison kicks off the new series The Shadow Age with Three Kinds of Lucky. Luck is its own kind of magic in this first book in an electrifying new contemporary fantasy series.

Kim Harrison talked to the CT Post when she had decided to end the Hollows series: “I don’t want to say that I’m bored with it—because I’m not—but it is very important to me that (the series) doesn’t just peter out. She’s evolved and her world has evolved. She’s made a lot of mistakes, but she has matured a lot.”

(Of course, the author later resumed the series again. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did the same thing.)
