Kelley McGee

Kelley McGee 

Verbose version: Kelley's dream of a career in writing began years ago in algebra class, a place she spent most of the time wondering what was going on. She eventually embraced her right-brained instincts--along with her desire to tell stories--and launched a long career in TV news. Her work as an anchor and reporter has been recognized by, among others, the N.E. National Academy of Television, Arts and Science with multiple Emmy nominations, and by the Associated Press for excellence in education reporting. She was also part of a team awarded a national Edward R. Murrow award for journalistic excellence. She has covered everything from local politics and education, to the Super Bowl, to reporting from Ground Zero and Rockaway, Queens post 9/11, to covering breaking news on occasion for the Today Show and MSNBC. She also had several acting roles on the NBC show "Providence" as a—wait for it—news reporter. 

But after spending nearly twenty years primarily on the "death, destruction & corruption" beat, Kelley decided she was ready for happier endings. She left the news business in pursuit of sanity and the chance to write fiction. She quickly found her tribe among the creative, generous and insightful souls at the Muse writer Center in Norfolk, Virginia. She was also awarded two residencies through NOEPE at the Point Way Inn on Martha's Vineyard, a magical place that lives on in the hearts and minds of many fellow writers. She has completed two women's fiction manuscripts and is hard at work on her third.

Since Kelley began writing novels her New England teams have won the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, and the Stanley cup . Not at all related, but still worth mentioning.

When Kelley isn't writing, you can find her reluctantly exercising, enthusiastically playing terrible golf and tennis, or trying to place the thirty trillion pictures of her kids into scrapbooks. Her "book boyfriends", though all charming and intelligent, don't begin to compare to her eternally supportive and handsome hubby of nearly twenty years. They live in Virginia and Cape Cod with their perfectly behaved teenagers, a Portuguese water dog that can't swim and far more books than is reasonable.
