K.L. Elliott

Hello darlings! I'm Kayla (K.L. Elliott), a new-to-the-scene (probably indie) writer working to see my ultimate dream come true. I'm a lover of Jesus, wife to the most supportive man, mother of two  earthlings and one angel, and a teacher of Social Studies to some awesomely awkward pre-teens. 

As far back as I can remember, I've wanted to be an author. My mother told me I didn't let her read to me, but instead would take the book into my chubby hands and make up my own stories. 

My writing passion waned as I got into junior high and high school and was inundated with formal academic writing, but the dream never died. It just stuffed itself in the back of a proverbial closet for years. 

I may be nearing the big 4-0 in a couple years, but I want to be proof that it's never too late to achieve your girl(or boy)hood dreams! 

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! 

Say hello to my first official writing baby. 

This labor of love started in 2018. After an unimaginable loss left me scrambling for some sense of control, I wrote my first complete draft of a manuscript over one summer. This was monumental - and incredibly healing! I created life within these characters while also mourning the life I carried that never got to be. 

It's taken another 7 years, a second child (our rainbow), and a move to another state, but I am just about ready for publishing. Since rewriting that first draft a second and third time and maybe fourth time, I've also started multiple other writing projects I'm itching to finish. The passion and my little girl dream is ALIVE & WELL!
