Kory Shrum

USA TODAY bestselling author Kory M. Shrum has published more than thirty books including the bestselling Shadows in the Water and Dying for a Living series. She is the host of two podcasts: Who Killed My Mother? a true crime podcast about her mother’s tragic death, and a second show called A Well Cared For Human, which focuses on debunking self-care myths, while offering concrete strategies for improving one’s wellbeing and mental health.

She also publishes poetry under the name K.B. Marie. When not writing, podcasting, or planning her next adventure, she can usually be found under thick blankets with snacks. The kettle is almost always on. She lives in Michigan with her equally bookish wife, Kim, and their rescue dog, Max.
