The Harlequin

Laurell K. Hamilton is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series and the Merry Gentry, Fey Detective series. A Terrible Fall of Angels, the first novel in an exciting new series, features Detective Zaniel Havelock in a world where angels and demons walk among us. With more than 40 novels published, Hamilton continues to create groundbreaking fiction inspired by her lifelong love of monster movies, ghost stories, mythology, folklore and things that go bump in the night. Her love of the macabre, books in general, animals and nature led her to degrees in English and biology. She is a non-practising biologist but uses her science to add an extra level of realism to her fiction. Hamilton currently lives in St Louis with her family, two spoiled Japanese chins, a house panther and a house lion. In her free time, she trains in Filipino martial arts with a specialisation in blade work, and travels to scuba-dive and birdwatch as often as she can.

Actress Cynthia Holloway, a native of Seattle, Washington, has performed on stage, film and television, as well as doing voice-over work. She has lent her voice to television programs, radio and television commercials, video games and audiobooks. Cynthia's most recognisable work is as the voice of Anita Blake in Laurell K. Hamilton's bestselling Vampire Hunter series.
