Kaitlyn Ballenger is a full-time paranormal romance author, wife, professional bellydancer, and graduate student living in Central Florida. The debut novel in her dark, sexy paranormal series, the Execution Underground, about an international network of supernatural hunters who fight to protect humanity alongside the powerful women they seduce, releases with Harlequin's HQN line in 2013.

With a B.A in English from Stetson University, Kaitlyn is currently a student in Spalding University’s M.F.A in Writing for Children and Young Adults program, where she studies dual-genre in screenwriting. She writes dark paranormal romance with drool-worthy heroes and kickass heroines as Kaitlyn Ballenger, and sassy YA urban fantasy under her maiden name, Kaiti Schulz.

When Kaitlyn’s not preoccupied with paranormal creepy-crawlies, she can be found slaving over endless amounts of schoolwork or with her nose buried in a book. She lives in Florida with her husband and doggie-daughter, Sookie (yes, like the heroine in Charlainne Harris’ books), near the love and care of her supportive family. Kaitlyn believes anything is possible with hard work and dedication. One day, she will be a bestselling author and have people name their pets after her characters too.
