Kelly Wilson is a Victorian-based thriller author and educator who writes captivating and emotionally-driven stories around mystery, resilience and empowerment. Her writing aims to encourage readers to embrace their own voices as catalysts for change and promote safe spaces to ignite difficult conversations around universal understanding from a personal to a global scale. Drawing on 30 years in the education sector, and working alongside marginalised communities, Kelly brings not only a sensitive cultural insight but an informed lens to her writing that allows readers a glimpse into systematic injustices and the importance of perseverance and courage. Her new adult novels, Fragmented, The Shadows in My Mind and Where the Driftwood Meets the Sand are gripping explorations of personal awakening against adversity. Each narrative underscores layers of trauma and the repercussions of the buried being unearthed, while promoting the importance of reclamation in the face of betrayal, loss and systematic silence. When she's not writing or advocating for mental health and wellbeing through her business, Wings for Grace, you'll find her surrounded by her fur children, including Lady Lulu and trained therapy dog, Zahli, and holding space for readers, communities and the stories that connect us all.
