Where do we go from here? Tent City and Red River have reached further in the world than I could have ever imagined, even surprisingly finding homes in the hearts of readers I would never expect would care to hang out with Dani, Brody, and the rest of the gang in Tent City. Readers are the most amazing creatures I've ever come across. I have such a huge adoration for them, all readers, not just the ones who read my work.

Just for a sneak peak of what's coming next, my latest work in progress has taken an interesting turn and I won't say much, but it's looking to be a companion novel for Tent City series, and maybe not in the way you would expect.

As far as what's going on in m

The long answer? The creative process with drawing the story up is really exciting, but I also love the editing process because I believe that's when the magic comes out and you can really improve the writing and place the words exactly where they belong. But the best of the best? When that first proof comes in the mail and I can hold it in my hand. (less)

Spectrum and the Pen Name

I've now joined the ranks with the authors who write in multiple genres and feel the need to have a pen name.

Why did I?

As most of you know, Kelly Van Hull writes YA dystopian. In my future works if the rating is PG I will use the name Kelly Van Hull, which happens to be my real name :)

For the stuff that is a bit saucier, I will use Kay Kadinger. I hope that my readers will enjoy both.

Kelly Hull My editor says one more week before she returns my baby to me. Return to Tent City should be out by the middle of November. Fingers crossed.
