In Madison she became a mother, a sailor, and a fan of craft breweries. She likes snow and cross-country skiing and knitting and playing games with friends and kids and kids of friends.

THE OVERDUE LIFE OF AMY BYLER was a Goodreads Reader's Choice Fiction Top Ten of 2019, a WFWA Star Award nomination, and a #1 Amazon Bestseller.

Kelly (me) grew up in Iowa, and her much bigger brother only tortured her sometimes.
