Kelly Shade is a mystery writer. Her debut novel Jane Blake: True Sinner is the first book of the Jane Blake series. The idea behind the series came to Kelly years before she started writing it. Initially, she wanted to write one book, but the story in her mind was way too long for just one novel, so she decided a series was necessary. From a tender age, Kelly has been fervently engaged in storytelling, dabbling in various fiction genres and penning music lyrics with equal passion. Her knowledge of psychology, human behavior, and criminal psychology has deeply influenced her writing, adding layers of depth and insight to her character development and plot intricacies. Though she thinks of herself as a citizen of the world, Kelly’s heart belongs to California. She has lived in several countries in Europe, wanting to experience different cultures, and is currently enjoying life in a small coastal Spanish city. As for the future, she has no idea where the wind will blow her—maybe she’ll get back to the Pacific's embrace. Kelly is a proud mother of two: a son and a daughter, who add further joy and purpose to her adventurous and creative life.
