When the 2008 recession hit, KELLI STORM found herself without a job and with too much time on her hands. To fill the void, she began writing fan fiction. She soon developed a following, and her readers encouraged her to write an original story. Kelli’s debut book, HIS SMALL-TOWN CHALLENGE (Harlequin Special Edition), is an ode to her love of boy bands.

​

Kelli graduated with a bachelor's from Grand Valley State University. Harlequin is set to publish two of her books this year, with two more expected in 2026. Tiny Fox Press will also be releasing her debut young adult fantasy in October 2025. Kelli resides in the Great Lake State with her three rescue dogs and a fifteen-year-old fish named Henry O’Malley.
