Biography
Moning graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor's degree in Society and Law. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a bartender, a computer consultant, and an insurance specialist.
Moning began her career writing paranormal romance set in Scotland. In the course of writing the Highlander series, however, she became increasingly fascinated with Celtic mythology (especially the legends about the Fae), so she switched to the urban fantasy genre in her Fever series so she could focus on the Tuatha Dé Danann — an ancient race of immortal beings who have lived secretly among humans for millennia.
Moning is currently completing a graphic novel for Del Rey, featuring an original story about MacKayla Lane and Jericho Barrons, and has contracted with Random House Publishing Group for five more books set in the Fever universe: the first three (known as the Fever World series) are set to feature Dani O'Malley and other secondary characters from the Fever series, while the other two books are expected to resume the story of MacKayla Lane, Jerricho Barrons, V'lane, the Unseelie King and his concubine.
She divides her time between the mountains of Georgia and the beaches of Florida.
