Kelly’s love of comics and superheroes have compelled her since she discovered them as a teenager and ultimately led her to a degree in Sequential Art from The Savannah College of Art & Design. Kelly’s first novel THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING was a breakout Kickstarter success and an Amazon Bestseller.
Currently living in Manhattan with her boyfriend and a pitiful lack of pets, she is hard at work on several projects, including the sequel to THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING and an original graphic novel with Dark Horse Comics. You can find Kelly all over the internet where she is generally well-liked, except when she’s detested.
Kelly is represented by Miriam Kriss of the Irene Goodman Agency and is managed by Susan Solomon of Principato Young.
Feel free to contact Kelly directly, especially if you want to give her money or compliments (yay!) at: 1979semifinalist[at]gmail[dot]com and you can learn more about Kelly at her official website.
*The current 1979 Semi-Finalist current blog header includes an illustration of Kelly’s character Lola LeFever from her novel THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING, and is drawn by the utterly fantastic Meredith McClaren.

Why no updates?
Why Bay Cities web link? Didn’t think it was that good.
Why no sassy retort to my e-mail?

How’s your back? I see that little photo of you and it takes a minute to recognize the non-blond you. Lots of good stuff coming from Ricky’s company: http://www.participantproductions.com/films/
Happy Thanksgiving! -
kelly,
i like you blog and your illustrative style.
‘-roll me over to that skor bar…anyone?’
is priceless.
[gives kelly a gentle push] -
Hey Bnepro
Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re enjoying the site (and my comics of course). Thanks for the push towards the skor bar…funny, no one else actually offered a push…
Hope you keep reading.
Best,
Kelly -
Excellent site. I have taken the liberty of adding a link to you at my online stall at Cidtalk. Having only just found you, there’s a lot of catch up reading to do. Take care of that back. I totally get the pain issue…mine is age induced:)

Cidtalk:
Thanks so much for the post and plug and for the compliments. I hope you enjoy poking around. Your site looks great – I’ll be checking it out over the next week or so.
Best,
Kelly -
Kelly, I apologize if I offended you in any way, that wasn’t my intention. My fault for using your comic in haste; I hadn’t looked at your “about me” section earlier, otherwise I would’ve asked permission before hand. I do apologize. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Your comics are great! Keep up the good work.
-
No problem at all. I hope I wasn’t too harsh in my comment. I am of course flattered that you would even be interested in using any of my comics, and you are welcome to use as many as may suit your purposes – please just be sure to credit. As you can imagine, you have to be ever vigilant when putting your work out there on this monster we call “the interwebs” – whether it be writing or art.
Thank you again for the compliments – and for stopping by!
Best,
Kelly -
You have to revise your bio now. You are no longer looking for representation for your FIRST novel, you need representation for your SUBSEQUENT novels……

Keegan: You are so right! I corrected it

I am a student at the Art Institute of Indianapolis and I was wondering if I could use one or two of your blog entries for an Illustrator class project I am doing for college. My concept idea is to take several art/about art blogs and present them in print form as a newspaper. The project is just a single page of the paper. I admire your work and cometary and would love to be able to share it with my class.
Thanks for your time,
Geoffrey -
Geoffrey: Why don’t you send me an email at 1979semifinalist[at]gmail[dot]com and we can discuss further – I suspect it won’t be a problem. Thanks for reading. Kelly
