Jen Kelly grew up in sunny California, among vast vineyards, within a reasonable distance from Lake Tahoe where she loves to snowboard and the Lost Coast where she loves to enjoy the beaches and peruse the work of local artists.  Drawing was one of her earliest artistic passions, which expanded into painting with oils and acrylics.  Many evenings she can still be found relaxing with a pencil, blending stump, and sketch book.  In between that, she’s busy cursing the clock for not having more time to fervently read paranormal romance novels.  Eventually, well nurtured creativity turned into writing her own fictional stories and allowed creation of new worlds and mixed-breed characters with feisty willpower.  Now living in the Pacific Northwest, Jen is writing full time and embarking on the journey of looking for the perfect literary agent to assist in publishing her books.
