BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
K. A. RILEY is a full-time author of YA and New Adult Dystopian Fantasy, Romantasy, and Science Fiction. Riley is dedicated to creating worlds just different enough from our own to be entertaining, intriguing, familiar, and a little frightening all at once.
In addition to being a successful and highly-ranked author, Riley is a classically trained violinist and violist who has performed professionally alongside big names such as Michael Bublé, Andrea Bocelli, and Tom Cochrane as well as in various quartets and orchestras for over thirty years. She lives in the Niagara Region with her slobbery golden retriever and her aloof, combative cat. Riley is fluent in French, is an experienced equestrian, and suffers from a major but manageable addiction to Wordle, white wine, and Reality TV.
She loves to travel and often incorporates elements of the places she’s visited in her fiction. She has written half of her books in the vineyards of the French countryside, half while strolling the streets of London, and half at home. (That’s three halves, but she’s a writer not a mathematician.)
