Kelley Heckart

"I write strong female heroines because I never wanted to be a helpless princess waiting for a prince to save me. I wanted to be able to save myself."

With nearly 20 years of writing and editing experience, Kelley Heckart’s writing focus is steamy paranormal romance and historical fantasy novels. The author of 15 full-length novels, Kelley cleverly plays on the page using supernatural elements throughout ancient, medieval, and contemporary timelines. And she fills her romance novels with history, mythology, and mysticism. Her bold characters tell stories through the eyes of fierce warriors, powerful women, gods and goddesses, faeries and vampires, and beyond. These characters are intertwined with one another through captivating, sensual storytelling, and she thrives when using her gift of fantasy and romance.

When not writing or editing, Kelley enjoys practicing target archery, and writing and recording music with her musician husband. For more than 10 years, she has acted as a book editor who specializes in developmental, content, and copy edits.
