About Me
The daughter of an English teacher and a freelance writer, I knew I wanted to be a novelist at the tender young age of twelve. Armed with a college ruled notebook and a ballpoint pen, I set out to write my first manuscript, but quit after seven pages to finish my math homework.
Several years and many short stories later, I’m taking another crack at it. My first book, A Death That Lingers was just released in November 2011 by Beachwalk Press, and my second book, Falling in Danger will be out February 20, 2011.
I live at the base of the mountains in Southern Oregon with a very supportive (and handsome) husband, two adorable little girls, two slightly less adorable cats, and a geriatric mutt named Dodger. I spend my time reading, writing, cuddling my girls and dreaming of my next novel.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, great job with the blog and congrats on the book completion. It’s good to hear about you again. Keep up the good work.
Hello Kaylie! I also have two small children and am pursuing my dream of creating the largest pet art collection in the world! That means I must PAINT…and often…it is tricky finding the time. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much Gretchen! And good luck to you as well- Do you have a blog?
hi kaylie,
i can relate to that feeling of so much to do. finding the balance between meeting the needs of those who really need you, and continuing towards your own goals… not an easy thing to do! good luck on your journey, and thank you for reaching out to me on twitter.
You’re so very welcome, and thank you for visiting my blog. It’s so important to know that there are other people out there feeling the exact same way I do. Thanks so much
Kaylie,
I also struggle with the balance between focusing on a goal and keeping my head above the water of daily responsibilities. My wife and I only have one little one (2 years old next week), so I applaud you on being able to find time to write with 2 children! I also have the benefit of a supportive spouse. I have only just begun to blog, still trying to figure out what my focus is going to be (besides trying to be funny
I look forward to watching your journey toward your goal and welcome any tips you have based on your experience which is much deeper than mine!
