edit data

Kelly is a USA Today bestselling author who writes royally epic fantasy where fate is forged in prophecy, kingdoms are shaped by intrigue, and reluctant heroes must rise to meet destiny. Her elaborate secondary worlds are rich with myth, magic, and slow-burn romance, blending character-driven storytelling with high-stakes adventure.

A lover of sassy chihuahuas and bobbed-tail cats, her coffee mug is always full, and she believes dessert goes with every meal. When not in front of her keyboard, she’s probably reading, playing with yarn, or lost in her imagination.
