The Making of A&E Kirk
Eileen and Alyssa Kirk, the dynamic duo of A&E Kirk, hail from the sunny mountains of Los Angeles, where they live with a horse, a cat, and two dogs. Their writing journey began when Alyssa, inspired by her love for paranormal TV shows and anime, penned the manuscript for Demons at Deadnight. Eileen, blown away by her daughter’s work, joined forces to refine it, sparking a collaboration that blends their unique voices. Their self-proclaimed backstory? Escaping supernatural prisons and dodging flesh-eating squids, pardoned by the Supernatural Continuum Warlords to write fiction instead!
This mother-daughter team thrives on their complementary strengths, dividing plots and editing each other’s work, even if it leads to the occasional bicker. Their Los Angeles lifestyle—complete with leisurely horseback rides and carb-fueled writing sessions—infuses their stories with vibrant energy and humor, setting the stage for their bestselling series.
A&E Kirk’s Unforgettable Stories
A&E Kirk’s signature style is a rollicking blend of action, romance, and humor, centered on feisty heroines and swoon-worthy heroes. Their flagship series, the Divinicus Nex Chronicles, follows Aurora Lahey, a seventeen-year-old with a less-than-stellar superpower that attracts demonic hit squads. In Demons at Deadnight (2012), Aurora teams up with the Hex Boys, a group of mysterious, hunky demon slayers, to survive paranormal threats in Gossamer Falls. The novel’s fast-paced plot and witty banter made it an Amazon bestseller.
The series continues with Drop Dead Demons (2014), where Aurora uncovers why supernatural forces target her, diving deeper into a treasure hunt with the Hex Boys. Demons in Disguise (2015) ramps up the stakes as Aurora becomes the hunter, tackling a traitor and unraveling Mandatum secrets. A companion book, Hex Boys in Disguise (2019), offers fans the Hex Boys’ perspectives, packed with their signature charm. Beyond the Chronicles, Midnight Poison (2017) kicks off the Paranormal Poisons series, introducing a darker, more twisted tale of a vampire-hunting heroine.
Their writing shines through snarky dialogue, vivid world-building, and a balance of humor and heart-stopping action. Themes of trust, family, and resilience resonate, making their books perfect for readers who love Cassandra Clare or Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Why A&E Kirk Matters
A&E Kirk’s impact lies in their ability to make paranormal romance accessible and fun.
