ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Kelly (she/her). I've been writing romance novels since junior high. In those days, they featured high school quarterbacks named Brad who drove Corvettes and gals with names like Desireé because my name is rather plain. Since then, my stories have ranged from historical and contemporary male/female romances to light women’s fiction to LGBTQ+ romance, with a time travel series thrown into the mix. One theme remains the same: everyone deserves to have a happy ending.

​

When not writing, I like being outside in nature, quoting from Eighties movies, listening to all kinds of music, and petting every dog who crosses my path. All of these show up in my books. Being a dork at heart, I watch a lot of documentaries to satisfy my hunger for random bits of information. I live in the Chicago area and swear every winter is my last one here. (Alas, I'm still here.)

​

I am represented by the fabulous Eva Scalzo with Speilburg Literary Agency.
