Kellie Elmore is a writer that I identified with immediately when I first read her debut book Magic in the Backyard. It was as though she sat on my shoulder and wrote about my life with each new page.
Kellie became a friend, mentor and supporter of my writing when I joined her weekly writing challenge, Free Write Friday. This weekly challenge helped me grow as a writer with her feedback as well as that of other participants.
Kellie has three books that show her talent with poetry, prose and short stories. Her fourth books is a debut novella.
Magic in the Backyard – Growing up in a small town, Kellie Elmore learned of love and loss within her humble “backyard” surroundings. Weaving stories inspired by these emotions and the vast nature of the East Tennessee foothills has become her passion. You will feel the enchantment at the center of this collection of prose and poetry as you are completely taken in by the allure of Magic in the Backyard.
