Patricia Briggs is an American fantasy author best known for the Mercedes Thompson urban fantasy series. She has also written high fantasy novels and the Alpha and Omega spinoff series.
Briggs grew up in Montana and graduated from Montana State University with degrees in history and German. She worked as a substitute teacher and wrote short stories before publishing her first novel, Masques, in 1993. After several traditional fantasy novels, she transitioned to urban fantasy with Moon Called in 2006.
The Mercedes Thompson series became a New York Times bestseller and established Briggs as one of the leading voices in urban fantasy. Her work is known for well-developed supernatural societies, particularly werewolf pack dynamics, and protagonists who rely on cleverness and relationships rather than overpowering magic.
Briggs lives in Washington State with her husband and a variety of animals. She is known for interacting with fans through her website and social media.
