Kelly L. Wyatt
About the author
Kelly has a rich artistic background that began with her journey as a model, which eventually led her to pursue a career in the performing arts. After many fulfilling years in that field, she made the decision to step away and focus on raising a family. Kelly transitioned to a long career in the administrative side of education, while always carrying a quiet passion for writing and live theatre. Now retired, Kelly has turned her focus to that long-held dream.
As an emerging author, Kelly is passionate about storytelling and dedicated to sharing her unique voice and perspective through her writing. Her first novel, I Am Enough, reflects her deep commitment to capturing the inner landscapes of the human experience. Through the beautiful simplicity of her writing, she allows her characters' voices to shine, blending grounded realism with elements of fantasy and personal transformation.
Currently, Kelly is engaged in her next creative endeavour: co-authoring and acting in a stage play about dementia, titled I Don’t Belong Here - Stories and Songs at the Edge of Forgetting, which will tour Canada in the fall of 2025.
When she’s not writing, Kelly enjoys painting, golfing, and traveling. Most of all, she loves going on "Nana Ventures" with her grandchildren. Kelly lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, with her greatest supporter, her husband, Greg.
From the moment I met Kelly many years ago, I knew she was destined to tell stories that would inspire and ignite the imagination. Her incredible sense of creativity and storytelling has always been a defining part of who she is. This novel marks a pivotal moment in her journey, where she steps away from her inner self and emerges as a storyteller in her own right. With a soul touched by quiet kindness and gentility, Kelly's authenticity and imagination shine through in her writing, especially when exploring the harsh realities of life. The world she creates in her novel will astonish, intrigue, and soften readers of all kinds. Her words are thoughtful, drawn from a deep understanding of the human psyche, and carefully researched to reflect a range of perspectives. It thrills me beyond words to see my dear childhood friend share her voice, her thoughts, and her stories with the world. I have no doubt she will leave an indelible mark on all who encounter her work.
