edit data

Kelsey Cox received her MFA in fiction from Purdue University and works from home in the Texas Hill Country. You can often find her writing at Mammen Family Public Library, chasing around her two young daughters, or watching British mysteries with her mom and aunts. On nights when bedtime goes as planned, she enjoys curling up on the sofa, glass of wine in hand, and a book with complicated characters and a killer twist in her lap.

Quotes by Kelsey Cox (?)

“I’ve always hated flowers. The ratio of sentiments is all wrong, like an equation that doesn’t balance: Hey, I know you’re devastated right now, so here’s some pointless, pretty dead things.”
― Kelsey Cox, Pretty Dead Things

“I wonder what it would be like to not constantly worry what others might be thinking. To be comfortable in my own skin, instead of falling over myself to make sure everyone else is comfortable in theirs. I wonder what I actually am underneath, without this skin—”
