Kerri Maniscalco has a gift for weaving dark, atmospheric tales that blend history, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural. Growing up in a semi-haunted house just outside New York City, her fascination with gothic settings began early, and it's this eerie allure that continues to seep into her writing. When she's not conjuring up spellbinding stories, Kerri enjoys a good cup of tea, indulging in her love of cooking, and sharing life’s finer moments with her cats.

Her debut series, Stalking Jack the Ripper, introduced readers to Audrey Rose Wadsworth, a fierce, forward-thinking young woman investigating the notorious Jack the Ripper case. With Stalking Jack the Ripper, Hunting Prince Dracula, Escaping From Houdini, and Capturing the Devil, Kerri quickly earned a dedicated following and cemented her place as a master of gothic suspense and historical fantasy.

Following the success of her thrilling historical mysteries, Kerri ventured into darker, more fantastical realms with Kingdom of the Wicked, a spellbinding fantasy series full of witches, demons, and the deadly sins. Her work invites readers into a world where magic is dangerous, love is forbidden, and everything is tinged with danger.

In 2023, Kerri expanded her universe with Throne of the Fallen, the first in her Princes of Sin series. This adult fantasy romance takes place within the Kingdom of the Wicked world, exploring the seductive and deadly dynamics between powerful beings and the humans who dare to love them. The sequel, Throne of Secrets, was released in October 2024, diving deeper into the political intrigue and complex relationships within the magical realm.

Kerri’s books are known for their atmospheric settings, complex characters, and deeply emotional arcs. Whether it's the gritty investigations of historical mysteries or the enchanting and perilous realms of her fantasy series, her stories captivate with an irresistible blend of tension, mystery, and heart. When she's not writing, Kerri keeps in touch with her fans through her engaging social media presence, offering a glimpse into her creative process and sharing behind-the-scenes moments from her writing journey.

Her ability to craft stories that evoke both tension and beauty, filled with characters who challenge expectations and fight against the odds, continues to inspire readers around the world. Whether you're lost in the streets of Victorian London or drawn into a world where witches rule, Kerri Maniscalco’s books offer an experience that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
