edit data

Kelly Pawlik dabbled with story writing from a young age. She spent her childhood reading, dressing her beloved cat, Midnight, up in doll clothes and hunting garter snakes in the backyard. Her childhood dream was to be a writer and she is proud to have made that dream a reality with her middle grade series, Olympic Vista Chronicles (formerly the Legends of The Link novellas).

Kelly is also a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) designer. After co-founding Dire Rugrat Publishing in 2015 with her husband, she couldn’t get enough. Her credits include work for Kobold Press, Lazy Wolf Studios, and Zombie Sky Press, among others.

Kelly lives on Vancouver Island, BC with her husband, their three inquisitive children, and two lazy cats.
