Jessica Grace Kelley started writing novels after spending a year reviewing books on her book blog, lifegonewrite.com. Her novels have won several contests and awards, including the YA Molly Award, the Emma Merritt Award, and the YA Authors.me Contest. She is working hard on her next book and is represented by Christa Heschke at the McIntosh and Otis Literary Agency.

​

When Jessica's not buried in books, she spends her time writing music, collecting antiquities, and working as the Youth Program Director for The Muse Writers Center, one of the top non-profit literary centers in the country.  She especially enjoys working with teens and is the fiction teacher for the Muse Teen fellowship Program, where she has mentored over 40 fellows.

Jessica lives by the beach with her G.I. Joe husband, two rambunctious little boys, and three over-sized lap dogs.
