Richelle Mead (born November 12, 1976) is a bestselling[1][2] American fantasy author. She is known for the Georgina Kincaid series, Vampire Academy, and the Dark Swan series. All are available internationally, including countries in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.[3]

Education and career

Richelle Mead was born in Michigan[4] and now lives in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland, Washington.[5] She has three degrees: a Bachelor of General Studies from the University of Michigan, a Master of Comparative Religion from Western Michigan University, and a Master of Teaching from the University of Washington.[4] Her teaching degree led her to become an 8th grade teacher in suburban Seattle, where she taught social studies and English. She continued writing in her free time, until she sold her first novel, Succubus Blues. After quitting her job to write full time, her other books quickly followed.[6]

Mead actively writes books in three different series. The schedule for this is so demanding that she has to turn out a draft for a new book every three months. This is an extremely fast turnaround compared to the year that most authors take to write a book.[6]

Mead will be writing a six-book spin off series featuring characters we have already met. There are four confirmed main characters: Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and one of the love interests from Vampire Academy whose name is being withheld in order to protect those who have not read Last Sacrifice; however, Mead has stated that to those who have finished the book, "it should be pretty obvious who the other character is."[9] Mead has confirmed that Bloodlines will be the name of both the series and the first book.
