When the great 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, 2025), is an ode to her love of boy bands.

Kelli earned her bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University. She’s the author of the Challenge Accepted series for Harlequin Special Edition and the young adult fantasy thriller DESOLATE (Tiny Fox Press, 2025), an instant Amazon bestseller and a Barnes & Noble Top Indie Favorite. Kelli's a member of the Authors Guild and the RWA.

 

She lives in the Great Lake State with three rescue dogs and a fifteen-year-old fish named Henry O’Malley.
