Hello! I’m Kelly…
I write sweet, no-spice romantic fantasy novels, mixing in adventure, heroics, a dash of humor, and timeless truth. A former attorney turned stay-at-home mom, I grew up in wintery North Dakota and now live in Florida, the land of neverending summer, where my husband and I will soon embrace the bittersweetness of an empty nest.
When I’m not writing, chances are I’m on my back patio, with a furball on my shoulder (Stella doesn’t know she’s a lap dog) and a book in my hand, savoring dark chocolate and watching the sunset over the lake. I love classic old movies, travelling to castle-dotted landscapes, and hockey, but my greatest passion is storytelling— taking a journey of faith on every page.

LADY OF SHADOWS
bbCan the love they once denied become their strength to survive?
The only man she loves is the one she can never have…
Lady Tara’s dreams of marrying for love were shattered with her arranged marriage to the sickly Lord Gershom. Fine. She may not have love, but she has purpose—a position of power that lets her make a difference in the kingdom. At least her Carmack, her fiercely loyal shield, remains by her side, even if she must deny her heart.
Then Lord Gershom dies. And to her horror, Carmack is blamed. Branded a traitor, he flees, forcing Tara to choose between protecting the life she’s built or following the man she loves.
Loving her might cost him everything…
Carmack Demry has secretly loved Lady Tara all his life, sworn to protect her at any cost—even if it meant watching her wed another man. But now, accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he’s on the run because staying away is the only way to keep her safe. Except Tara has other plans.
Determined to clear his name, she plunges into a web of treachery and deceit that reaches far beyond them both—one that threatens the very heart of the kingdom. Together, they must navigate a world of danger, unravel a conspiracy, and face a choice more perilous than any battlefield: deny their love or risk everything to claim it.

\
In Azena, books are dangerous business…
Selista Bibbly is the castle’s last surviving librarian in the fallen kingdom of Azena. When a sinister councilman demands a lost book, she must use her gifted memory to find it before his impossible deadline, while under the surveillance of his deputy—an unpredictable young man with a dangerous past. If she fails, she will suffer the same tragic fate as her parents.
Zac Younger needs one more successful assignment to make his next jump in rank. Spending time in a library wasn’t what he expected. Neither is the bookish Selista.
Sparks fly between them, but what a missing book brings together, a hidden plot threatens tear apart.
