Writing as Kinley MacGregor and Sherrilyn Kenyon, she is an international phenomenon and the author of several series including: The Dark-Hunters, The League, Brotherhood of the Sword, Lords of Avalon and Nevermore. Her books always appear at the top of the New York Times, Publisher's Weekly and USA Today lists (often hitting #1 on national and international lists).
Dianna Love always liked to do things big…and still does. When she isn’t traveling across the country to produce a gigantic marketing presence for a Fortune 500 company, she’s polishing her latest action-adventure story. She’s been a voracious reader since picking up her first book. While traveling so much, she started writing down story ideas since the characters wouldn’t stay
home and leave her alone.
The first book she wrote – WORTH EVERY RISK – won nine awards then was published under the name Dianna Love Snell prior to winning the prestigious RITA Award. Her next release will be PHANTOM IN THE NIGHT (Pocket/June 2008), a romantic action-suspense she co-wrote with #1 NYT best selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon. Dianna’s debut paranormal, MIDNIGHT KISS GOODBYE (St. Martin’s Press/October 2008) introduces an unusual mix of Celtic and Hindu mythology in a mystical world of dangerous
warriors. Dianna has always played way outside the box, which is why she pursues characters and plots that fascinate her rather than jumping on a hot publishing streak…because a story ultimately has to entertain her first. She teaches national workshops and in 2007 joined up with Mary Buckham to create a highly successful program called Plot YOUR Book in 2 Days.

Dianna lives in the metro Atlanta area with her motorcycle-instructor husband and a tank full of unruly saltwater fish named after television characters. Visit www.AuthorDiannaLove.com for appearances, book releases, industry interviews and contests.
