Kelly Barnhill is a teacher, writer and mom from Minneapolis. She writes fiction and non-fiction – things that are Literary and Speculative and Informative and Frightening and Odd. Sometimes she does all of these things at once. She’s the author of thirteen non-fiction titles for children, over thirty short stories for adults, and two novels for middle grade readers. She is hard at work on two more stand-alone novels and one series. Wish her luck. (She will need it.)
