Smith’s novels in “The Night World” and “The Vampire Diaries” series have been award-winning titles and several time New York bestsellers over the years. Prior to becoming a full time author, Smith was an elementary teacher until 1989 when she quit to fulfill her lifelong dreams. She had always wanted to be a young adult author right from when she was young. By the time she was in high she had started working on “The Night of Solstice” and “Heart of Valor”, which she published when she was in college. The novels did poorly on the stands as they were not labeled young adult as Smith had suggested. It was not until an Alloy Entertainment editor commissioned the first novel of the “Vampire Diaries” that her career took off. Since then, she has published the “WildWorlds”, “Dark Visions”, “The Forbidden Games”, “The Secret Circle”, and “The Night World series”.
