Author
Raised in a house with thousands of books, Kelsey Bryant has been writing stories ever since she can remember and dreaming of when her books would join the ranks. Now a copyeditor as well, she loves helping other writers achieve their dreams. She draws inspiration for her writing from the Greatest Story Ever Told, which culminates in the Messiah’s salvation offered to every person. Her life would be meaningless without her relationship with Yeshua (Jesus). She’s also inspired by the classics, especially the works of her favorite authors Jane Austen, Elizabeth Goudge, L. M. Montgomery, and Elizabeth Gaskell. Like some of her fictional characters, she grew up homeschooled. Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, she now lives in the Texas Panhandle with her husband, their entitled but affectionate half-Siamese, and their hyper yet sweet German shepherd. As an avid student of the Bible, she’s trying to make Hebrew her second language. To counteract all that time at a desk, she loves being active, especially practicing martial arts, chasing toddlers at her preschool day job, and exploring whatever beautiful places she can find in the great outdoors.
