Patricia Briggs

Author

Patricia Briggs is an American fantasy author best known for the Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha and Omega series, both set in a richly developed urban fantasy world where werewolves, vampires, and fae live alongside humans in modern America. Born in Butte, Montana, she studied History and German at Montana State University and... worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. The Alpha and Omega series, beginning with the novella of the same name, follows Anna Latham, a werewolf who discovers she is a rare Omega wolf — a calming presence that can soothe the violent instincts of dominant wolves — and Charles Cornick, the enforcer son of the North American werewolf leader. The series combines romance, action, and supernatural worldbuilding. Briggs is celebrated for her complex characters, her well-developed supernatural politics, and her ability to balance multiple ongoing storylines across two interconnected series. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers smart, engaging urban fantasy with real emotional depth — supernatural fiction where the relationships are as compelling as the action.
