Kim Harrison is a nom de plume of American author, Dawn Cook. Under the name of Harrison, she is best known for her Rachel Morgan urban fantasy series set in an alternate history where a worldwide pandemic caused by genetically modified tomatoes led to the death of a large portion of the world’s human population. At that point, the hidden “Inderlanders,” creatures such as witches, werewolves, vampires, and more, came forward and revealed their existence to the world.
Under the name of Dawn Cook, she is best known for her Decoy Princess and Truth series, published in the first few years of the 21st century. The first two Truth books were originally one book, which was split into two separate books for publishing. That the two are the same was disclosed in a May 2009 Locus magazine article.In 2008, Harrison was described by Harper Collins Voyager Publishing Director Jane Johnson as the best example of the urban fantasy sub-genre which she described as, “the supernatural erupting into the everyday—sexy, tongue-in-cheek, post-modern.”
