About this author

Once upon a time, Kelley York was born in central California. And it's there she she still resides with her lovely wife, step-daughter, and an abundance of cats, while fantasizing about moving to England or Ireland. She has a fascination with bells and animals, is a lover of video games, Doctor Who, manga and anime, and likes to pretend she’s a decent photographer. Her life goal is to find a real unicorn. Or at least write about them.

Kelley is a sucker for dark fiction. She loves writing twisted characters, tragic happenings, and bittersweet endings that leave you wondering and crying. Character development takes center stage in her books because the bounds of a person's character and the workings of their mind are limitless.


We all know how much I love cover reveals, especially when done by one of my darling friends. This is book THREE in this series, and I'm totally digging the cover, especially with how it ties in with the first and second.

Without further ado...here is Jamie Manning's BLOOD REVELATION, book three in the Blood Prophecy series!


BLOOD REVELATION will be released October, 2014 by Pendrell Publishing.... Read more of this blog post »

Hollowed by Kelley York
" I'm one of those readers who hates reading the synopsis of a book before picking it up to read it. I like to base my judgments and reviews on the writing itself, rather than my impression of what the book should be like because I read the synopsis... " Read more of this review »
Hollowed by Kelley York
" I've just finished.
I think the book is epic.
I don't like the fact that Briar can so easily forgive Noah, seriously, he tried to kill her. Oliver all the way.

“Everyone’s had shit in their lives. Some people have it worse than others. But no one can turn you into a bad person, just like no one can turn you into a good one. We’re all dealt our hands in life, and how we choose to react is entirely up to us. That’s free will.”
Kelley York, Hushed

“Karma is a cruel mistress.”
Kelley York, Hushed

“I can physically see the effort it takes for him to open his mouth and force out the words. He's spent so much of his life not being seen, not being heard, that he's forgotten how to realize anything he says does hold weight and is important.”
Kelley York, Suicide Watch

“Mama, Mama, help me get home
I'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.
I found me a werewolf, a nasty old mutt
It showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut.

Mama, Mama, help me get home
I'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.
I was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreck
It showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck.

Mama, Mama, put me to bed
I won't make it home, I'm already half-dead.
I met an Invalid, and fell for his art
He showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart.

-From "A Child's Walk Home," Nursery Rhymes and Folk Tales”
Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Does it ever make you sad?"
"Does what?"
"The Sunset,"
"Sad? Nah, I think it's peaceful."
"Not to me. I've always found it depressing."
"How so?"
"I guess because it's the end. I hate endings."
"Not all endings are bad though. I think of sunsets more as a clean slate. Besides, they're beautiful... like you"
"Beautiful things never last.”
Steph Campbell, Grounding Quinn
