Happy Book Release Day!
I’m delighted to let you know that my new novel is now available exclusively from Bold Strokes Books!
The setting is near and dear to my heart: the Cahaba River, one of the most biodiverse rivers in America. The river and its special ecology grounds a story that will take you on an adventure with artist-naturalist Jordan Burroughs, who, while waiting for endangered Cahaba lilies to bloom, finds romance with English professor Maddie Grendel, is befriended by a supernatural being, and is swept into a situation as perilous as the swift currents of the river.
I hope you’ll enjoy this book. Let me know!

ReadOut 2021
Growing up, the public library was one of my favorite places to go. As Fran Leibowitz has said, reading shouldn’t be a mirror, it should be a door. My local public library was a doorway that opened the world to me–it encouraged my curiosity, wonder, and imagination.
I’m both honored and excited to participate in Read Out 2021: A Festival of Lesbian Literature hosted by the LGBTQ Resource Center at the Gulfport Library in Gulfport, Florida. Over 80 authors are participating in the hybrid event that includes live and pre-recorded sessions with author readings, spoken word artists, comics, and entertainment between sessions.
I’ll be reading from my novel Aspen in Moonlight in the Pearls: Mystery & Fantasy session on Saturday, February 26, at 12 pm CST / 1 pm EST. There will be other great writers reading, including my friend and fellow author, Karen F. Williams. It’s going to be fun, I hope you’ll join us!
Click Here to register. Did I mention that it’s free? Yeah, it’s FREE! and open to an international audience.
Public libraries rock!
Aspen in Moonlight
A great review from The Lesbian Book Blog!
By Kelly Wacker
The blurb from the publisher…
When art historian Melissa Warren inherits three of her grandmother’s paintings that have captivated her since childhood, she sets out to discover more about the little known artist and the locations of the mysterious landscapes.

Sula is reluctant to help Melissa, but their instant chemistry is impossible to ignore. Sula is torn between falling in love and hiding the truth about who and what she really is. Of course, if Melissa paid closer attention to minor details—like the fact that Sula enjoys nibbling berries off the vine, is unusually strong, and consumes way too much honey—Melissa might not be in for the shock of her life.
My thoughts…
I was very surprised to learn that this was Wacker’s first full length novel. This book doesn’t read like…
