Sherrilyn Kenyon


USA flag (b.1965)

aka Kinley MacGregor, Sherrilyn McQueen

Defying all odds is what #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Sherrilyn McQueen writing as Sherrilyn Kenyon does best. Rising from extreme poverty as a child that culminated in being a homeless mother with an infant, she has become one of the most popular and influential authors in the world (in both adult and YA fiction), with dedicated legions of fans known as Paladins–thousands of whom proudly sport tattoos from her numerous genre-defying series.

Since her first book debuted while she was still in college, she has placed more than 80 novels on the New York Times list in all formats and genres, including manga and graphic novels, and has more than 70 million books in print worldwide. Her current series include: Dark-Hunters®, Chronicles of Nick®, Deadman’s Cross™, Eve of Destruction™, Nevermore™, Lords of Avalon® and The League®.

Over the years, her Lords of Avalon® novels have been adapted by Marvel, and her Dark-Hunters® and Chronicles of Nick® are New York Times bestselling manga and comics and are #1 bestselling adult coloring books.

Time Trials (2023)
(Time Trials, book 1)
D J Butler and M A Rothman
"Here's a book you really might like. Time Trials is a deadly adventure in which a band of modern humans get taken back in time to Earth's pre-history - and they find that humanity is herded and hunted by alien monsters, who look like the gods of Ancient Egypt. Time Trials has wonder and action in equal measure, with humor and even a little romance on the side. The characters are so charming and diverse, I wish I knew them in real life. For you gamers, there's a fun little bonus too, because there are fantasy gaming elements woven subtly into the story. Take a look at Time Trials - you might find it's a new favorite."
