Before Sherrilyn Kenyon became one of the best-selling paranormal romance authors in the world, she wrote practical reference books for other writers. The Writer’s Digest Character Naming Sourcebook (1994) remains a popular resource for fiction authors looking for authentic names across cultures. The Writer’s Guide to Everyday Life in the Middle Ages (1995) provides historical detail about medieval customs, tools, food, and social structures.

Both books came out well before Kenyon’s fiction career took off with her Dark-Hunter series in the early 2000s. They reflect her deep interest in history and world-building, skills that would later define her sprawling supernatural universes.
