Author bio

Katie MacAlister grew up in the Seattle area in a house where regular library trips were simply part of life. Books were around her early, and reading seems to have been less of a hobby than a default setting.

She did not begin with a grand plan to become a novelist. One of the turning points came when she took on a contract to write a software guide, and the work showed her exactly what she was missing. She wanted dialogue. She wanted love stories. She wanted room to be funny.

So she turned to fiction.

That sense of fun is still one of the easiest ways to spot a MacAlister book. Readers often meet her through the paranormal romances, especially A Girl's Guide to Vampires, which opened the door to her Dark Ones world of soul-cursed vampires, sharp-tongued heroines, and supernatural trouble that never stays tidy for long. You Slay Me did something similar for her dragon books, introducing Aisling Grey, Drake Vireo, and Jim, the demon in Newfoundland form who has a habit of stealing scenes.

Then the universe kept expanding. The dragon novels branch through the Aisling Grey, Silver Dragons, Light Dragons, Dragon Fall, and Dragon Hunter books, while the vampire side grows into several Dark Ones subseries. If readers come back again and again, it is usually for the same mix: fast pacing, offbeat humor, magical politics, and romance that stays warm even when everything around the couple is on fire.

She has also written contemporary and historical romances, including books like The Importance of Being Alice, Improper English, and the Noble novels. Those stories trade fangs and dragon septs for river cruises, titles, family chaos, and culture-clash comedy, but the voice is still recognizably hers. Her heroines are often smart, frazzled, stubborn, and a little out of their depth. The heroes tend to arrive carrying secrets, old wounds, or both.

She has written for younger readers under the name Katie Maxwell, and mystery readers may know the name Kate Marsh. Even when the genre shifts, the appeal stays pretty consistent. The books move quickly, the banter matters, and the characters feel as if they had messy lives before the first page and will keep having them after the last.

A lot of MacAlister's fiction is built around movement. Paris, Budapest, Iceland, Austria, Greece, London, Scotland, and all sorts of strange Otherworld corners show up in her bibliography. So do haunted houses, cursed relics, dragon councils, matchmaking disasters, and more than a few people whose vacation plans go spectacularly wrong.

She makes room for absurdity without losing the heart of the story.

Over the years, her books have landed on bestseller lists and built a big connected universe, but the draw is still pretty simple. People come for the paranormal romance or the comedy, and stay because the books feel lively. There is always something strange about to happen, and someone is usually making it worse in a very entertaining way.

She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and dogs. And judging by the long trail of dragons, vampires, ghosts, gods, and romantically exhausted humans in her bibliography, she is still having fun.
