K. M. McFarland made her way to the Big Easy in middle school by way of Nashville, Tennessee and the Florida beaches. She immediately became intrigued by its old-world ambiance. Her obsession with Vampires began in 1986 one day when she was browsing a bookstore and discovered a new author named Anne Rice. She walked out with a copy of The Vampire Lestat and soon became a lifelong fan of The Vampire Chronicles. Inspired by Anne Rice’s concept of the modern day vampire, she began spinning her own stories combining vampires, Voodoo, ghosts, haunted houses, and New Orleans’ colorful history. When she isn’t writing or roaming the French Quarter researching her next book, you will find her spending time with her family, shopping online, or marathoning a good TV series. Photography, music, art, traveling, reading, coffee, and wine are among her favorite things.
