Faith Hunter BIO LONG

Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series is a New York and USAToday bestselling dark urban fantasy. Jane is a full blooded Cherokee skinwalker and hunter of rogue-vampires in a world of weres, witches, vampires, and other supernats.

Her Rogue Mage novels—Bloodring, Seraphs, Host, two anthologies, and the RPG Rogue Mage—feature Thorn St. Croix, a stone mage in a post-apocalyptic alternate reality.

The Soulwood series is a New York Times and USAToday bestselling dark-urban fantasy / paranormal police procedural / para-thriller series featuring Nell Nicholson Ingram, an earth magic user and Special gent of PsyLED.
Her Junkyard Cats novella series started off with a bang as an Audible Original (number one selling book on Audible the week of release and still selling strong). Three novellas in this series so far.

Faith writes full-time, tries to keep house, and is a workaholic, who loves to cook, write, and drink tea. Occasionally, she remembers to turn on Roomba (that she named Duma$$ because it fell down the stairs once.)

Faith researches in great detail, and tries most everything her characters do. Research led to her life’s passions – jewelry making, orchids, bones, RV travel, white-water kayaking, and writing. Jewelry-making was the occupation of two of her characters: Thorn St. Croix of the Rogue Mage series, and also the main character of Bloodstone, written by her pen name, Gwen Hunter. She fell in love with the jewelry art form. Faith makes, wears, and sometimes gives away her jewelry as promo items to fans and as prizes in contests. See her FaceBook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/official.faith.hunter for pics. She works with stones, pearls, crystal, and glass, wire wrapping larger, undrilled, focal stones. Labradorite, Amazonite, apatite, aquamarine, and prehnite are her favorite stones.

Faith loves orchids. Her favorite time of year is when several are blooming. Pictures can be seen at her FaceBook page. And yes, she collects bones and skulls. Many of her orchid pics are juxtaposed with bones and skulls —a fox, cat, dog, cow skull, goat, a tusked boar, and deer skull, (that is, unfortunately, falling apart) and the jawbone of an ass. She has the skull of a mountain lion (legally purchased from a US tannery) hit by a car in the wild.

She and her husband RV, traveling to whitewater rivers all over the Southeast. And that leads Faith to kayaking—her very favorite sport. Faith discovered whitewater paddling when she was researching her (Gwen Hunter) mystery book, Rapid Descent. She took a lesson and—after a bout of panic attacks from fear of drowning—discovered she loved the sport.

Under other pen names, notably, Gwen Hunter, she writes action adventure, mysteries, and thrillers. As Gwen, she is a winner of the WH Smith Literary Award for Fresh Talent in 1995 in the UK, and won a Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award in 2008. As Faith, her books have been on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists, been nominated for various awards and won an Audie Award with Khristine Hvam, and several regional awards. Under all her pen names, she has more than 40 books, anthologies, and compilations in print in 30 countries.
