Born in Topeka, Kansas, Kelly Money quickly learned that life in Kansas wasn't just tornado's and yellow brick roads. Although the tornado's were real, her excitement came from using her imagination, writing stories and poetry. Inspired by the ominous and eerie mortuary next to her aunt's home, a love for mysteries and suspense began at the age of 7. This passion led her to Bethany College where she played basketball and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. She and her family currently reside in Glendale, Arizona where she has been a Realtor for over 20 years.
