A note from kelly

My dad tells me that I was in kindergarten when I announced that I’d become an author one day, so it’s fair to say the books you’ll find here on my site represent my lifelong dream. For decades I wrote for an audience of one, and while I hoped I’d one day be published, it wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I was ready to even allow my friends or family to read my stories.

Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the best publishers in the world. My books have been Top 10 bestsellers in my home nation of Australia, have topped Kobo, Amazon and Apple books charts, and have even appeared on bestseller lists including the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star lists in Canada, and the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today lists in the United States. My stories have been translated into dozens of languages, and can be found in bookstores all over the world.

I wish I could go back in time to tell that Kindergarten version of myself that one day, all of her story-telling dreams would come true. If you’re here at this website today because you’ve read one of my books, thanks so much for being a part of this wild and amazing journey. And if you’re here at this website because you’re an aspiring writer, I hope this note encourages you. It’s never too late, and no one can tell your story like you can, so get writing.

Best wishes,

Kelly
