Kelsie Leverich was born and raised in the little town of St. Paul, Minnesota. Before getting married and following her spouse from one army location to the next, she lived in Joseph, Illinois. They finally settled down in Avon, Indiana, with their two children after eight years. Kelsie's family, which includes two dogs and a cat, is her life. Kelsie can typically be found snuggled on the couch with her kids and a good book, or out on the lake with family and friends when she's not writing.
