Raised by a single father in the small town of Buffalo, Missouri, Kelly has fond memories of life being broke as shit in the Ozarks that strongly influence her writing and way of life. She’s a graduate of Missouri State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing. She has eight-year-old identical twins and a full-time job, so writing and picking up LEGO are the only other things she can devote herself to.
