My name is Dorien Kelly, and this is my cyber-home. Trust me, it's a lot neater than my real house.
Despite multiple attempts to be other things, I am an author. Fresh out of the University of Michigan, I worked as a waitress while pondering the writing life. After a while, I decided I'd probably make more money as a lawyer. Okay, I probably would have made more money if I had spent less time pondering and more time working, too.
Sigh . . . Back to school.
Because I had that lovely diploma (and a seemingly endless capacity for self-punishment), I spent several years practicing commercial law. Ultimately, I realized that while a legal career was lucrative, it was making me too Type A to survive. Since I was tired of billing out my life by the quarter-hour and wearing pantyhose, I turned back to writing.
I live in Michigan with one or more of my three children, two very spoiled West Highland White Terriers, and a handicapped coonhound named Bubba. I think Bubba has a lovely voice. Don't ask my neighbors what they think.
Have a question? A comment? Seeking a new method of procrastination? You can reach me by email at: Dorien@dorienkelly.com. Unless my computer (or Bubba) eats my e-mail, you'll hear back from me. Eventually....
