Yurie Kiri's novel Moonlight Beach won the 2020 Hollywood Book Festival's award for Genre Fiction. The second book of the four-book series is called Moonlight Canyon.

In Kiri's Tokyo Games, the game character drags the player into a malevolent web of corrupt politicians, despotic religious orders, and ancient, flesh-eating mythological monsters.

Yurie Kiri is a shy, secretive person who lives on a boat, cruising between various ports in the Pacific Ocean. Sailing, writing, and photography are Yurie's primary passions. Since Yurie's beloved cat, Fluffy, knows where all the bodies are buried, he's not allowed to leave Yurie's sight.
