About this author

I live in Virginia, where I am a writer and an editor. I also have a master's degree in deaf education. In my free time, I hike and savor frappuccinos.


My second lesfic short story collection is out! As you can see from the cover at right, the title is: "Cupid Pulls a Prank and Other Lesbian Tales." Ten short stories are in the collection, which totals about 21,000 words.

You can buy the collection at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords.

Cupid Pulls a Prank
Cupid pulls a prank to end all pranks. For the first time in American history, both... read more »

An engrossing tale of whaling, race and survival at sea. And yeah, um, cannibalism. Read this! One of the best non-fictions I’ve read.

I really liked this book. It’s bound to make you think, which is always a good thing. I love how the author captures the voices of teenagers. If you like crime books, pick this up.

Q. Kelly Hey, everyone. I wanted to let you know I've released a short-story collection. And...wait for it...a favorite four-letter "F" word. No, not that one. The OTHER four-letter "F" word. FREE! http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/... (For more info, go to http://qkelly.blogspot.com/)

The collection has seven short stories. The lead story is "Miss Lucy Parker."

"Miss Lucy Parker" Miss Lucy Parker is a prim, proper elderly lady. When a Volkswagen Beetle—the new kind, and pink—PINK!—turns onto the winding road that leads to Lucy's farmhouse, Lucy is sure the car's occupants are lost. And that the car contains hippies, because hippies drive Volkswagen Beetles. Lucy plans to tell the hippies to get lost. She has no need for their odd speech, beads and marijuana aroma. Except hippies are not in the car. A woman is, a woman wearing a short, blood-red dress that hugs her body. Thus begins Lucy Parker's great adventure.

"A Weird Situation" Karen does not believe her boyfriend when he tells her that he turns into a woman for seven hours every day.

"The Interview" The person interviewing Debby has a giant booger. Should she tell him and risk not getting the job?

"First Day at Work" A security guard's first day at a bank has repercussions for him and three workers.

"Every Day" A man struggles every day to follow through on a promise to himself.

"The Doctor" A doctor salivates at the prospect of delivering bad news to a twelve-year-old girl and her mother.

"Guardian Angel" Gabriel fancies himself a guardian angel. But is he really?

Q. Kelly OK, "Waiting" and "The Odd Couple" have been added to Kindlegraph. "Strange Bedfellows" is there already. My Kindlegraph page: http://kindlegraph.com/authors/Q__Kelly


message 4: by Q.

Q. Kelly Gonna work on uploading "Waiting" to the e-book sites today/tonight. That means it'll definitely be on Smashwords tonight. It'll take a few days for Kindle and BN.


message 3: by Q.

Q. Kelly Here's a link to an excerpt of "The Odd Couple." The excerpt begins...

Charlene’s eyes flew open. That voice was real. Right across from her, just yards away, there he was. Her son, her JP. Four years old again and risen somehow from the grave. There was no mistaking him. He had listened to her, and he was back. Charlene went weak with disbelief. Her heart wobbled. This was it, then. This was how she was going to snap and plunge into the valley of the insane. Because JP was dead. The gunshot. The holes. The lifeless eyes. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&am...

Q. Kelly Congrats to the Goodreads giveaway winner. I'll mail the book Monday. Let me know if you prefer ebook.


message 1: by Q.

Q. Kelly I'm getting several library books today to start research on my fourth book, in which one of the romance leads is a Siamese twin. Be interesting to see if I can actually pull this off.
