Happy February!
Well, 2020 is over. It certainly was a
long (and challenging) 12 months, and we’re all hoping for a better 2021. I’ve
been pretty busy, and this issue of the Quill
has something for everyone.
Readers: I’m sharing
news about my latest non-fiction release, Journaling Every Week, and recapping
my 2020 publications.
Writers: Are you ready
to write in 2021? Then take a look at my writing ebook (and be sure to read
about
Journaling Every Week, too!).
Let’s get started…
2020
RECAP
In October 2020, Kelli had horror stories published in two
anthologies. “The Uninvited” appeared in Halloween Horror Vol. 2.
This unsettling tale of a children's Halloween party gone horribly
wrong is one of her favorites. Order Halloween Horror Vol. 2 in
ebook or paperback formats here:
https://www.amazon.com/Halloween-Horror-2-DBND-Publishing-ebook/dp/B08K4QPV2B/
“What
the Peeper Saw” was included in the Madame Gray's Creep Show anthology.
This eclectic collection of twenty-three tales of terror and gallows humor is
available in paperback and ebook formats here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LZQZ495
DID
YOU KNOW… That February is “Women in
Horror” month? If you love horror, follow Kelli’s Facebook Horror page: https://www.facebook.com/HorrorFictionbyKelliAWilkins/
And don’t forget to check out the horror section of her site: https://www.kelliwilkins.com/horror to read about her horror ebooks, sci fi stories, and more!
In early 2020, Kelli published Love, Lies & Redemption,
a western romance set in 1877 Nebraska. This novel blends a sensual love story
with mystery and danger. Here’s the summary:
Love,
Lies and Redemption
Shot and left for dead, Sam Hixton stumbles into a
general store on the Nebraska prairie and collapses into the arms of Cassie
Wilcox.
Cassie’s world is turned upside down when the
handsome stranger drops into her life. Sam is another complication she doesn’t
need: her business is dying and her trouble with the townspeople is escalating.
Yet she’s determined to keep the store open — no matter what the cost.
As Sam recovers from his injuries, he hides the
truth about his identity and convinces Cassie to let him work in the store.
He’s attracted to her and admires her independent nature, but quickly realizes
Cassie’s in way over her head. They fight their growing attraction, and Cassie
questions whether she can trust her fragile heart to a mysterious stranger.
Will he accept her once he knows about her troubled past?
Cassie resists Sam’s advances and represses her
feelings until one fateful night when they give in to their fiery passion.
Together, they work out a plan to save the store, but find their efforts are
thwarted — and their lives endangered — by the locals.
Sam’s secret returns to haunt him and pulls him away
just when Cassie needs him the most. Will he regain her trust when she learns
the truth?
Cassie has everything invested in the store — can
she save it and find true love with Sam before it’s too late?

KELLI’S
BEEN BLOGGING…
I was blogging like mad in 2020. I
shared “inside looks” at the making of my romances, did a two-part FAQ blog
series, talked about my horror stories, shared some recipes, and more. Need to
catch up? Read all of my blogs here: https://www.kelliwilkins.com/blog
I
hope you enjoyed this winter edition of the Quill.
What’s coming up in 2021? I’m working on two new romances and I’ll be writing
a comprehensive blog series about my romance novels. If that isn’t enough, I’m
also toying with ideas for more horror fiction. Read this blog to learn about
more changes: https://www.kelliwilkins.com/post/a-fresh-start-for-the-new-year
Before I sign off, I want to give a big Thank You to everyone who ordered my books, visited my blog, followed my social media pages, and supported my writing in 2020. Thanks!
Stay warm this winter!
Happy Reading & Writing,
Kelli A. Wilkins
