Sherrilyn Kenyon

Sherrilyn Kenyon, the best-selling author of the "Dark-Hunter" series, began writing as a child to survive her own bleak circumstances - poverty and neglect, punctuated by the shouts of her parents. "I'm gonna skin you alive the minute you fall asleep!" she once heard her mother bellow at her father.
