Born in the nation's capital, award-winning novelist Richard Davis grew up in urban Chicago. He wrote his first short story in the third grade. Having earned a degree in English summa cum laude from Columbia University in New York, Richard moved to Los Angeles where he wrote screenplays for over a decade. But when an awesome idea for an epic fantasy series came to him, he returned to his first love—prose fiction—and has never looked back. Assassin Royale is his fourth novel.

"Unwanted" is the latest in the GRITS series and it is a blast. Even though this is something like Book 9 in the saga, it shows no signs of slowing down. This time the heroine is Ursula, and naturally she is a werebear. Like all the characters so far, ...more
