Patricia Briggs, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series, lives in Washington State with her husband, children, and a small herd of horses. Briggs began her career writing traditional fantasy novels, the first of which was published by Ace Books in 1993, and later shifted gears to write urban fantasy.

In 2006, Ace Books published Moon Called, the first book in her #1 New York Times bestselling—and signature series—about Mercy Thompson. Briggs also writes the Alpha and Omega series, which are set in the same world as the Mercy Thompson novels.
