Kami Garcia is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unbreakable and Unmarked in the Legion Series & the co-author of the Beautiful Creatures and Dangerous Creatures Novels. She is a Bram Stoker Award nominee, an ALA William C. Morris Award finalist, an SCIBA Award finalist, a recipient of the Bold Ink Award, and a co-founder and board member of the book festivals YALLFest and YALLWest. As a former teacher and Reading Specialist, Kami never planned to become a writer—not until she (and Margaret Stohl) wrote Beautiful Creatures on a dare from seven of Kami’s students. Since then, Beautiful Creatures has been published in 50 countries, translated into 39 languages, and made into a film by Warner Brothers, released in 2013. When Kami isn’t writing, baking Coca-Cola cake, or watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you can find her on Twitter @kamigarcia.
