214—that’s the number of times Kelly Kay has seen When Harry Met Sally. The other day, someone called her a Smutty Nora Ephron. Who knew #goals could come true? 

​

Kelly’s the author of several interconnected romcom series and some standalone romances. They’re witty, urbane, wildly funny, heartbreaking, emotional happily ever afters because nothing’s better than a belly laugh and an ugly cry. And a whole lot of kissing. 

​

Chicago-based writer (Go Cubs!), married to a writer, mother of a creative dynamo of a twelve-year-old boy and currently a little sleepy. She’s highly organized and a chaotic mess all at once and loves lipstick as much as Chuck Taylors. And most likely has either a glass of white or a cup of coffee in her hand right now. 
 

Good things in the world: pepperoni pizza, Flair pens*, wine, coffee, laughing with my friends until my stomach hurts, a musician at the top of their game, getting lost somewhere I've never been, matinee movies on a weekday, brightly colored ranunculus flowers, a fresh new notebook full of possibilities, bourbon on a cold night, Fantasy Football, witty men, walking through the local zoo in the rain and that moment when a character clicks in and begins to write their own adventure. She's just the pen. 

 

*purple is her favorite Flair pen
