Born in San Antonio and resident for most of a life in New Jersey, Nina Bangs took up romance novels and cats somewhere between California and Texas. Jobs before a teaching career ranged from work with Arabian horses to singing in Irish pubs, and a cat was written into every one of the stories that followed; USA Today bestseller lists carried the results. Bangs lives near Galveston, Texas. The 23 catalogued books run from An Original Sin and Night Bites, both 1999, to Eternal Shadows (2022), with vampires, paranormal romance, demonology, time travel, immortality and amusement parks among the subjects. Castle of Dark Dreams, Mackenzie Vampires and Gods of the Night are the three series credited to Bangs.
