Road to Publication
From Kelly Anne:
Ten years ago, I wrote my very first book. It was a YA fantasy and it will always hold a special place in my heart! Amazingly, my book was picked up by an Indie publisher who helped me launch my career. Three published books later, I joined an anthology, which hit the USA TODAY Bestsellers list. Talk about an incredible feeling! Since then, I have worked as a hybrid author, self-publishing, working with traditional publishers (print, audio, and publishers in other countries), hit the USA TODAY Bestseller’s list again, and I’ve posted several stories on Wattpad, where my work has been read more than twenty million times. I’ve also written for several apps, including Hooked, Chapters (Crazy Maple Studios), Kiss (Crazy Maple Studios), and Tap.
Last March, I released a sweet YA sports romance with Entangled Publishing titled, I HATE YOU FULLER JAMES. The experience was great! I love how the story came out and the cover is seriously the cutest!
In addition to the release of I HATE YOU, FULLER JAMES, Entangled has published a book that I co-wrote with my mega talented friend and all-star author, Lynn Rush. IN THE PENALTY BOX, a YA sports romance, came out this past January, and is available wherever books are sold.
While we were working on edits for IN THE PENALTY BOX, Lynn and I started writing the Twin River High series, which is a young adult series that takes place in the fictional town of Twin River, Wisconsin. The first three books, GUTTER GIRL, PROJECT PERSONALITY, and CHAOS THEORY are all releasing this month (May 2021)!

From Lynn:
Personally, my journey into writing was a pretty big surprise. I never planned on being an author, so when I finished up writing my first book and told my family, they were shocked. Kind of like I was.
Reading the book, This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti, was what sparked my first story idea. It’s a trilogy that’ll probably never see the light of day since I had no clue what I was doing while writing it. But that’s okay. It got me started, got me my first critique partner, and really introduced me to the world of writing and publishing.
I kept writing and writing, learning the craft and really working to get an agent. It was my thirteenth book, Wasteland, that got me my first publishing deal. That publisher purchased two of my paranormal trilogies (Wasteland & Violet Night).
This writing journey has its ups and downs, but I’m super thankful to be where I am right now, and I’m looking forward to an awesome future with this Twin River High series. Thank you all so much for your support!
Star football player Jace Rovers has a secret. And not just any secret—a shocking secret… He writes romance. The kind with swords. And dresses. And kissing.
Nobody knows. Not the other kids at Twin River High. Not his overbearing parents. And certainly not the millions of fans who’ve read his book on the writing platform Scribbles. And that’s the way he plans to keep it.
Except suddenly one of the other football players grabs his notebook in jest and starts reading a kissing scene out loud…and Jace knows he’s busted.
But then McKenna Storm, resident goth girl who avoids the spotlight like a virus, snatches up the notebook and tells everyone she's the author. And lucky for Jace, she later agrees to continue the ruse...for a price.
Heck, he'd give her anything not to reveal his secret. But when they start to fall for each other, he knows he'll have to keep the biggest secret of all—his darkest character is based on her…
