Hello, world! I’m Kelly Malleck, a writer and published author based in Newcastle, Washington. I published my first book, Where Is Home: A Memoir, in September 2021. It’s available on Amazon and at Auntie’s Bookstore in Spokane, Washington. I published a second book, Tales from a Writers’ Circle: A Collection of Memoirs, with my memoir group, in May 2023. It’s a collection of incredible stories by five writers that have been written, revised, and shared in our group since 2018. In real life, I work full-time in digital ministry, and I’m a contributing writer for Newcastle Living Magazine where I write monthly lifestyle articles to inspire people in my community. I also enjoy participating in writing challenges to keep my skills fresh and try not to take myself too seriously!
