Kelley has always been a lover of literature: “I won my first poetry contest when I was in second grade.” As a girl, she wrote poetry, songs, plays and stories. As with most writers, Kelley was an avid reader with a voracious appetite for books. “I used to love the Nancy Drew, Encyclopedia Brown and Sweet Valley High series.” But her all-time favorite book as a girl was Judy Blume’s “Are You There God, it’s me, Margaret”? Today, Kelley still reads and writes books which depict strong, inspiring female characters.
After graduating high school in 1997, Kelley attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She would eventually receive a BA in English; but not before much struggle and angst in deciding what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. “Back then, I really didn’t think of writing as a serious profession. I thought I was limited to ‘normal’ jobs like Lawyer or Doctor or Businesswoman. Therefore, I spent my freshman and sophomore years in college changing my major from business to political science to communications to general studies.” It wasn’t until the second semester of her junior year that Kelley confided in her counselor about the trouble she was having in choosing a major. “I told her I had always been good at writing; and she encouraged me to major in English.” After taking an aptitude test, Kelley was placed in advanced creative writing classes where she earned high marks and the confidence to call herself a writer.
When she is not writing, she spends time oil painting, cooking, reading and traveling. Kelley also enjoys entertaining her friends and family members, and people-watching.voir moins
