Kelly R. Nelson is the author of Sister, It's Not the Way and The Devil & The Details, where she writes unapologetically about love, survival, and all the messy emotions in between. Her stories are bold, layered, and never shy away from heat.

A proud single mom, California native, and lifelong writer, Kelly balances storytelling with real life—raising her kids, working full-time, and chasing her dream of being a full-time author.

The Devils We Know Is Coming

When I released The Devil & The Details, I knew Bethany and Kevin's story wasn't finished.

There were still things left unsaid. Wounds that hadn't healed. Questions that needed answers.

And now, after months of writing, rewriting, crying, questioning my life choices, and editing until my eyes crossed, I can finally say that The Devils We Know is coming.
