ABOUT KELLIE
Kellie M. Parker grew up moving around the United States and Europe as a third-culture kid/ US Navy brat, developing her love of travel and adventure. With books as her constant companions, it was only a matter of time before she decided to write one herself. She has college degrees in biology and nautical archaeology but has always found her sense of adventure most satisfied by a great story.
Kellie lives in west Michigan with her husband, four kids, and a pet rabbit. She loves hot tea, classic literature, and being outdoors. When she’s not plotting her next fictional murder, she can be found baking, gardening, tackling DIY home projects, and homeschooling her youngest.
Thin Air is Kellie’s debut YA novel. She also pens bestselling inspirational romantic suspense as Kellie VanHorn.
