Ilona Andrews is the pen name for the husband-wife writing duo of Ilona and Andrew Gordon. They write urban fantasy and paranormal romance, most notably the Kate Daniels series set in a magic-ravaged Atlanta.
The Gordons began writing together in the early 2000s, and Magic Bites, their first Kate Daniels novel, was published in 2007. Their collaborative process involves extensive outlining and drafting together, with Ilona handling most of the actual prose writing and Andrew contributing plot ideas, research, and editing.
The Kate Daniels series became a New York Times bestseller and ran for ten main novels plus several novellas, concluding in 2018. They have since launched several other series, including Hidden Legacy (about magical families in an alternate Houston), Innkeeper Chronicles (science fiction with elements of portal fantasy), and The Edge (set in a boundary zone between magical and mundane worlds).
The Gordons are known for strong female protagonists, detailed world-building, and action-packed plots with slow-burn romances. They maintain an active blog where they share writing advice and interact with readers. They live in Texas.
