BEDDING THE MARQUESS is now available!
About Kelsey
Author, wife, mother, animal-lover, and owner of an obscene amount of books. Kelsey is an Illinois native but spent some time in North Carolina while in college. She fostered her love of reading and writing after a heart condition sidelined her childhood. Her passions continued to develop long after surgery restored her health. To this day it's difficult to find her without a book in her hand. She dove headfirst into the romance genre (perhaps) a bit earlier than the recommended minimum age and became rather adept at disguising her reading material. Once exposed to the glittering world of historical romance, she was forever changed. Her love of writing and all things British translated into her future collegiate studies in both English (with an emphasis on Brit Lit) and History (mainly British and European). She would go on to earn Bachelor's Degrees in both English and History, as well as a Master's Degree in English. She finished penning her first novel fresh out of high school and has never looked back. After a few more years, she was inspired to write The Baron's Folly -- her first publication. When she's not writing or reading, Kelsey is usually watching reruns of her favorite shows ("Schitt's Creek", "The Office", "The Middle", "The Good Place", "Parks and Rec", "New Girl", etc.), or streaming just about any true crime show on Netflix; obsessively collecting architectural designs, crafts, and recipes on Pinterest; or sketching, crocheting, cooking, and spending time with her family. She is a diehard supporter of the Oxford Comma (in case you couldn't tell) and is glued to the TV whenever le Tour de France is on.
Coming Soon!
The third book in my "Spy Society" series, Bedding the Marquess is finally available! My second series with Dragonblade Publishing, "Reformed Rakes", is coming in 2026, and my newest release acts as a bridge between the two series. I am so excited about all of these new stories and cannot wait to share them with you. Check out my profile on my publisher's website for additional information.
Barnes & Noble Signing
I was so thrilled to have a signing at the Naperville, IL Barnes & Noble location to celebrate the release of Courting the Duchess. It was amazing to meet new readers, chat with my fellow lovers of books, and share my passion. (It was also nice to spend time indoors after the hellish heat of the outdoor event I attended the mont prior!) I loved discussing my books (and may have even converted a few customers into lovers of historical romance)!
