Kelly Ilebode, was born in Skowhegan, Maine the seventh child out of ten. At the age of five, she was placed in the first of four foster homes. The very morning after she graduated from Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine, Kelly hopped on a Grey Hound bus and headed to Boston, Massachusetts. She was seventeen. Despite her turbulent childhood Kelly was able to use her writing as an escape from the real world. Her first self-published book was a leap of faith on her own abilities as a writer. Staying true to who she was she writes from the heart and has a devoted following to her books. In Search of Grace (August 2012), hit number 5 on the free downloads one month after publication and gave her the much needed confidence to keep writing. Six novels later, she still is writing constantly and loving every moment. Kelly currently lives just outside of Boston, Massachusetts and is the mother of four human children, two feline children, and one very manic Chihuahua. See less
