A third-generation soldier, Kelly Washington isn’t afraid to push boundaries in real life and in her fiction. Regardless the genre—fantasy, science fiction, or romance—her writing style packs a powerful punch by featuring strong and independent, yet flawed, characters. Born into a family of voracious readers, she ignores as many obligations as possible in order to finish writing one more chapter.
Kelly is the author of the Falling for Him trilogy, the four-volume epic fantasy series, Reclaimed Souls, the Moira Rothrock novella series (Unlocking the Devil and Sleeping with the Devil), the stand-alone Freaky Friday-esque military romance novel, Collide Into You, and the upcoming science fiction romance novel, Claiming the Heart of Vraithe.
Her short fiction has appeared in Overheard Magazine, Cutter’s Final Cut, spillover mag, Fahmidan Journal, Pulp House Fiction Magazine, Kaleidotrope, Heart’s Kiss, and multiple Fiction River anthologies. Her short story, “The American Flag of Sergeant Hale Schofield” was a 2016 Year’s Best Crime and Mystery Story.
When Kelly isn’t writing, she works for the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C.

Thomas Pluck has slung hash, worked on the docks, trained in martial arts in Japan, and even swept the Guggenheim museum (but not as part of a clever heist). He hails from Nutley, New Jersey, home to criminal masterminds Martha Stewart and Richard Blake, but has so far evaded capture. His latest is Life During Wartime, a story collection that made Out of the Gutter say "this man can write." He is the author of Bad Boy Boogie, his first Jay Desmarteaux crime thriller, and Blade of Dishonor, an action adventure which MysteryPeople called "the Raiders of the Lost Ark of pulp paperbacks."
Joyce Carol Oates calls him "a lovely kitty man."
