Kelly Nelson was raised in Orem, Utah, and now resides in Cornelius, Oregon, in the heart of the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She lives on a ten-acre horse property with her husband and, of course, lots of horses. Kelly has a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University. As a young girl, she was an avid reader and had a passion for creative writing. Her travels to England, France, Egypt, Israel, West Indies, Mexico, and across the United States sparked a love of history, adventure, and exotic places. This led to the inspiration behind her debut YA novel The Keeper’s Calling.
