I basically read and write the same thing, which is myth-based fantasy for audiences from older teens to mid-twenties. But in addition, I read science fiction, manga, historical nonfiction, and new age.

Still catching up! I was going to post a picture of my bookshelf yesterday, but I got caught up in other dramas all day. Here is my fiction bookshelf.

Lately, not much relaxes me, anymore. But sometimes a large mug of hot chocolate and an episode or two of The Apothecary Diaries can help.

My helpful writing tools include journals, binders (to store research, sketches, & maps), calendars (to timeline the plot), my old Surface Pro (I hand write faster than typing, and my Pro gives me that option), & text-to-speech (to read my story aloud).

I actually don't have a WIP playlist for my short story, Dark Betrayal. If you have any playlist suggestions for a historic vampire short story set in Georgia, US during the mid 1800s, where the main character is turned by his treacherous lover, let me know in the comments.

I wrote small children's books & mystery scenes throughout elementary school and middle school. But I became a serious writer in 2003 (high school), when I started the original version of my Death Island Duology.

A little late to the party. I'll try to catch up as much as I can.
I'm Kelsey Ketch. I'm currently working on the third short story for the Dark Reflections Short Story Collection. The title is Dark Betrayals, and it is Jeremiah's vampire origin story.

Small win this morning: I finished writing a chapter for my short story, Dark Betrayal. It's the first chapter I've finished for this story and the most I have written in weeks.
I have about 12 chapters left to revise/edit for Lost Souls, but I just haven't had the energy to finish it.
