I've been making up stories since I was five years old, and now I'm thrilled to be able to do it as a full-time job. I have an obsession with dark fantasy, dystopian futures, and Pride and Prejudice-style love stories full of witty banter and sizzling, unspoken feelings. When I'm not writing, I'm creating digital art, reading funny blogs, or watching my favorite shows (which include TVD and BSG). I live with my geeky husband and our two bad cats in Atlanta, GA.

 Dear lovely readers,

I wanted to take a moment to reach out because I know many of you were expecting a new book from me this month—and I wasn’t able to deliver it. If you had a pre-order, it has been cancelled, and I’m deeply sorry for the disappointment.

The truth is, this past year has been incredibly hard. I’ve been juggling writing, caring for my family, and trying to tend to my own mental hea

Quotes by Kate Avery Ellison  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I’d allowed myself to feel love –yes, love– for another person in a way I’d once sworn to myself I never would. I’d become completely vulnerable, and now I’d been torn apart with hurt and catapulted onto a path I might never have taken otherwise. I’d risked my life for an outsider. For a stranger. Worse, I had a feeling I was going to do it again.”
Kate Avery Ellison, Frost

“In answer to a question you asked me not a long ago, a question I didn’t answer at the time…it is worth it. Love is a perilous dance too, you see. And if we stop dancing, we’ll die.
Don’t ever stop dancing.”
Kate Avery Ellison, Frost

“What about you? What do you do?” I needed to ask questions, draw him out. I needed to find out all the information I could. My voice sounded strong and smooth, but my hands were shaking. I put them in my lap so he couldn’t see.
“I prey on innocent villagers and terrify their children,” he said with a nasty smile. “And sometimes when I’m feeling really evil, I read books or paint.”
Kate Avery Ellison, The Curse Girl

“Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.”
Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness

“Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.”
Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire

“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
