What an incredible couple of weeks it has been since the release of The Unprotected by Skyhorse Publishing. I’ve added several upcoming events and readings across Virginia, Washington, D.C. and my home state of Nebraska. Also, I’ve updated my blog with a little “listicle” essay about a day in the life of a mother writer. Each week on FaceBook I share a literary term. Join the conversation!

SOME REVIEWS:

"Kelly's class has made me wish I was in school again, and that all my teachers had been like her. She's thoughtful, inspiring, and most generous with her time and critique. I know I am a better writer because of her influence." -Cindy Carlson

"Kelly consistently provides thoughtful, in-depth critiques of writing in a spectrum of genres, as well as insightful commentary on the theory and application of craft techniques. Kelly draws on her own experience as a working novelist to provide students with expert guidance at every stage of the creative process, and my own writing has improved as a result."
