The 2023 Alice & Ivy Read-Along
Hello everyone! Simply put, let’s do a read-along. (Or re-read-along, as the case may be! Both situations are welcome.) ABOUT THE READ-ALONG I’m host a fun read-along running from March to September of 2023. We’ll read the first five books and Becoming Miss Knight (novella) in preparation for Like a Ship on the Sea releasing […]
Kell’s Characters vs. Covid-19: a definitive guide
With all the craziness of Covid-19, etc., I decided to replace my regularly-scheduled post (that will instead be coming out this Monday) with something a little more light-hearted … though still relevant, of course! 😉 This post will focus on what my characters would do if, living in the modern-day world, they got caught up […]
Introducing the Characters of The Dressmaker’s Secret
Hi there, readers! So I’ve never been one to talk over someone, and I think characters have a right to a voice, too. So instead of introducing my characters … I’m going to let them introduce themselves! That’s right – today, Claire and Alice will be writing this post (as their TDS selves!), talking about […]
My #1 Regret from Publishing Young
As you all know, I published The Dressmaker’s Secret back in January 2016 when I was only fifteen years old. While I’m not the youngest person to ever published, that was still young by most standards, and … it was a mistake. I don’t say that lightly. I’ve weighed the pros and cons, and I […]
All About Only a Mother & An Excerpt
Well, I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but I’m writing a little short story called Only a Mother. It’s set in 1888 Scotland, and it’s about Ivy’s struggles in motherhood. Soooo … warning! There’s HUGE spoilers for Beyond Her Calling in this short story (if you don’t know how romances work). So just […]
The Alice and Ivy Series {Past, Present, and Future}
Hey y’all! Lately I’ve been working a lot on prepping for the next books in the Alice and Ivy series (and spinoff serieses) as well as doing some edits of The Dressmaker’s Secret. Since I’ve been working on them, obviously they’re on my mind, and obviously I want to write a blog post about them! […]

Finalizing Tour Details and Proofreading
Only fifteen days until At Her Fingertips releases. Am I nervous? No, not at all! Why would you ask such a silly question? Okay, I’ll admit I’m a little scared. Partially because of the fact that people will be able to purchase my baby … and partially because I have a lot to do in […]
Alice Unanswered? What’s that all about?
What? I have a sudden and inexplicable desire to tell you about this book! I mean, people have been asking (oh, shush, they have *pretends I have fans* *doesn’t have fans*) about Alice Unanswered, and so here goes! I actually do have a reason for posting this right now. I hit 25K with Alice Unanswered! […]
Finishing The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy
This was a post I planned for just before the 12 Days of Christmas party, but I ended up doing other post and saving this one until later and whoosh! It’s January! In this post I’ll be talking about my plans for finishing off the rather long and complicated series that The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy […]
