Katie MacAlister has written over 150 books across paranormal romance, romantic comedy, historical romance, and young adult fiction since her debut in 2002 with Noble Intentions. Her books are known for blending humor with supernatural romance, and she has created several interconnected series set in her “Otherworld” universe where dragons, vampires, and other supernatural creatures coexist.

Her Dark Ones series, starting with A Girl’s Guide to Vampires in 2003, is her longest-running franchise, following various couples who find love in a world full of Dark Ones (vampires) and their mortal counterparts. The dragon series, which includes the Silver Dragons, Light Dragons, Dragon Falls, and Dragon Hunter books, focus on dragon shape-shifters and their mates. Her Aisling Grey, Guardian series follows a courier who accidentally becomes a Guardian and handler for a demon named Jim.

MacAlister also writes under the name Katie Maxwell for young adult novels, including the Emily series about an American teenager studying abroad. Her Matchmaker in Wonderland series takes a lighter approach to historical romance with modern heroines in quirky period settings. She continues to add new books to her Otherworld universe, most recently with the Ravenfall Dark Ones and Otherworld Adventures series.
