Hi Bluesky! I write fiction, memoir, and cultural criticism. I am a journalism professor by trade. People tell me I'm funny. "Oh, Kelly! You're so funny!" ISO of like-minded people.

Feel like a new platform means a fresh chance to "brand." Post more than once a month? The shortlist: books, my Appalachian backyard, my Appalachian college town, writing, teaching, a pinch of social justice. Needed in my life: a cat.
