Kelly Meding grew up in Southern Delaware with a lifelong interest in horror, science fiction, and fantasy. That interest shows up across all her work, which features vampires, shapeshifters, psychic powers, and superheroes. She made her debut with Strays in 2007 and went on to build a body of work that spans five distinct series.

Her best-known books are the Dreg City series, starting with Three Days to Dead (2009). These dark urban fantasy novels follow Evangeline Stone, a paranormal hunter who wakes up in a stranger’s body with only three days to figure out who killed her and stop a supernatural war. The series ran for six books through 2016. Meding also wrote the Metas series, a superhero-themed science fiction saga beginning with Trance (2011), which follows young people rediscovering their superpowers fifteen years after a catastrophic battle wiped out the previous generation of heroes.

Her other works include The Project Files duology (Oracle and Lazarus) and the Strays series, which blends paranormal investigation with shape-shifting magic. Meding has also contributed stories to multi-author anthologies including Carniepunk and Pangaea.
