Kenyon, Sherrilyn: - Defying all odds is what #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon does best. Rising from extreme poverty as a child that culminated in being a homeless mother with an infant and now a phoenix forced to rebuild her career and life after an out-of-control judge bankrupted her to set up a legal fund with her money to pay his former business associates to threaten her worlds and universes, and while a U.S. Trustee threatened to put her in jail if she didn't write for free for her abusers. She has become one of the most popular and influential authors in the world (in both adult and young adult fiction), with dedicated legions of fans known as Paladins-thousands of whom proudly sport tattoos from her numerous genre-defying series. ​Since her first book debuted in 1993 while she was still in college, she has placed more than 80 novels on the New York Times list in all formats and genres, including manga and graphic novels, and has more than 70 million books in print worldwide. Her current series include: Dark-Hunters(R), Chronicles of Nick(R), Deadman's Cross(TM), Nevermore(TM), Lords of Avalon(R) and The League(R). ​Over the years, her Lords of Avalon(R) novels have been adapted by Marvel, and her Dark-Hunters(R) and Chronicles of Nick(R) are New York Times bestselling manga and comics, and are #1 bestselling adult coloring books. ​Join her and her Paladins online at QueenofAllShadows.com and www.facebook.com/mysherrilyn.
