About Me

Writing means different things to me. I'm a storyteller, a book editor, and a songwriter. For me, it's like breathing.

About

 

Kelley Heckart is the author of 15 paranormal and historical romantasy novels. She loves blending history, mythology, and mysticism across ancient and modern timelines, breathing life into fierce warriors, powerful women, and otherworldly creatures. When she isn't dreaming up supernatural stories with high stakes, angsty romance, Kelley can be found practicing target archery, recording music with her musician husband, or watching the backyard birds that bring serenity and joy to her daily life. She also channels her passion for storytelling into helping other writers as a comprehensive, experienced book editor, guiding manuscripts from first plot twists to final copy edits.

Inspired by strong female heroines — including Xena Warrior Princess, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Joan Jett — and, at times, by her own background as a rock-n-roll musician, Kelley is also inspired by true stories from ancient times. Still, she prefers to craft her ideas and characters around the supernatural. She thrives when using her gift of fantasy and romance. 

Her most recent series, the Dark Goddess Trilogy, includes Cat’s Curse, Beltaine’s Song, and Winter’s Requiem, which are set in Scotland during the Dark Ages. Based on the story of a real Irish prince who was a feared warlord, they weave historical accuracy with fantasy and tell a story of unlikely romance between tortured souls.

Her Shadow-walkers series is inspired by her love of the supernatural and her rock-n-roll days playing bass in an all-female progressive metal band. The five young women of Hecate’s Fury are more than rock stars. They are Shadow-walkers, chosen to help the supernatural world. There’s just one problem. No one trained them.

Her Arcadia series, which includes The Bear Goddess, The Wolf Queen, and The Crow Maiden is based on popular Greek myths. Three powerful women. Three men dared to love them.

White Rose of Avalon is a standalone novel. Inspired by The Mists of Avalon, this sensual Arthurian fantasy is a retelling of the Arthurian romances and brings these legendary characters to life. Destiny cannot be altered.

 

Of Water and Dragons is the first of her three-book Soul Echoes series--They have forgotten their past lives, but their past lives haven't forgotten them. Those memories echo through time. Set in Roman Britain, Of Water and Dragons combines history with Celtic lore. He’s a Roman soldier. She’s an enemy of Rome and half-Fae.


Of Ravens and Wolves is the 2nd Soul Echoes book. Magic demands its price.

Of Gods and Vengeance is the 3rd Soul Echoes book. Unravel the threads of fate.
