At my last dental cleaning my hygienist talked about how she loves audiobooks so I mentioned I had one. Today when I went back she told me she listened to it and loved it and can’t wait for book 2 😭 Kelley you’re a real one
Books 1 & 2 (The Prince of Terrana and The Princess of Maremer) are out now and I will continue to make art that not only reflects the problems in my world, but what I believe my world could be. I will do so with joy, and bask in the connections it has brought and will bring me. 🤍

Reading is, and my books are, political: what to expect from Heirs of Esran, my epic romantic fantasy series (alongside all the feet-kicking romance)
I am so FUCKING stoked about my audiobook narrator she’s sent me the prologue and I’m already freaking out
Any time I see someone talk about my book online my heart grows 3 sizes like the grinch 😭
Time to take a break from the political problems of the real world and make some up for my fantasy world HAHAHA (help)

Threw this on the ‘gram today and WHY NOT HERE TOO? Feast your eyes upon my stabby shadow cinnamon roll MMC (art by Coralie Renards) I love him so much 😩🤌
My books are for hopeless romantic nerds who love fierce women, unique worldbuilding that unfolds organically as you read, and absolutely irredeemable villains you love to hate. Oh, and cinnamon roll MMCs with a stabby side 😌
