A third-generation soldier, Kelly Washington isn’t afraid to push boundaries in real life and in her fiction. Regardless the genre--fantasy, science fiction, or romance--her writing style packs a powerful punch by featuring strong and independent, yet flawed, characters.

She’s the author of the Falling for Him trilogy, the four-volume fantasy series, Reclaimed Souls, several Moira Rothrock novellas (Unlocking the Devil), a stand-alone military romance novel, Collide Into You, and Claiming the Heart of Vraithe, a bonkers science fiction alien romance.

Her short fiction has appeared in spillover mag, Fahmidan Journal, Pulp House Fiction Magazine, Kaleidotrope, Heart’s Kiss, Fiction River, and in more than a dozen anthologies throughout her

My main characters (Keira and Dillan) have this hate-love-hate relationship that's a blast to exploit. Justin, Aaron, and Nebraska (Falling For Him series) make several appearances in this story. Let's just say the game of bowling takes on a whole new twist when Nebraska makes up the rules.

Indie-Business wise, I'm turning FALLING FOR HIM into a print book. I'm working out the size issues now (got a proof in hand that just looks... gorgeous!). However, I need to make a few tweaks to the back cover.

2nd Indie-Business wise, I'm also turning RECLAIMED SOULS into a print book. Hella work since it's over 700 pages (all four books) and I can't get the price below $20 USD. Working that issue as well. :)(less)

Did I just write a middle grade novel?

I sure as heck did!


During the Christmas break, my son and I came up with a nifty idea we thought could turn into a middle grade series. We brainstormed and came up with a few ideas, and on Dec 26 I wrote the first three chapters and asked the kiddo to read them.


He liked the character, the tone, and the direction the story was going, so I pressed on. This weekend I finished the first draft (37k wor

Quotes by Kelly Washington  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She started off as a little crush. A tiny, whispery one. The type of crush you know you’ll never, ever fulfill, but it fills your dreams on the nights you’re lonely and especially on the nights where you might have been with someone, someone you shouldn’t be with, but you still felt alone. In here. In your heart.”
Kelly Washington, Collide Into You

“Fight for her. But more than that… fight for yourself. Don’t be afraid of the disorder that love causes. It crashes around you. It blinds you. It heals you. But, more than anything else, Dillan, when you find the right one, it no longer feels like chaos. It’s like a series of falling dominos that pierces your heart. It elevates you into another plain of existence. All at once you realize you’ve never breathed real life until you truly experience love. Breathe, Dillan. Just… breathe. ~ Tanner Nguyen”
Kelly Washington, Collide Into You

“A cut from Keira would be like getting sliced with tiny, sharp razorblades. You don’t feel the pain until it’s too late. ~ Dillan Pope”
Kelly Washington, Collide Into You
