Hello!

My name is Kellie Doherty. I am an author and publishing professional who lives in Eagle River, Alaska. Living in Alaska gives me an appreciation for nature, a hankering for a good cup of tea (or cider), and a passion for all things below zero. During those dark, winter nights, I kept myself busy by writing stories and creating characters. After spending time in already created universes writing fanfiction, I decided to build my own. I’ve crafted many different worlds since then, and I still write fanfic under the name SerenityQuill. In my free time, I like to read, go for hikes, and watch more YouTube videos than I probably should.

My debut novel Finding Hekate was published by Desert Palm Press in April 2016 and its sequel Losing Hold was published in April 2017. I'm currently working on a five-book intertwined standalone fantasy series titled the Broken Chronicles. The first three books (Sunkissed Feathers & Severed Ties, Curling Vines & Crimson Trades, and Ink Stains & Ill-Fated Lies) are out, so check out my Books section for more information! I’m currently working on the fourth book now. My work has been featured in 49 Writers Alaska Shorts, Pathos Literary Magazine, the Chugiak Eagle River Star, F Magazine, and Alaska Women Speak, among others.

I also have a blog Have Pen, Will Pen in which I talk about writing, publishing, life updates, and a whole host of geeky stuff, including my two cats!
