Joëlle Anthony (aka J. M. Kelly) started out life in Portland, Oregon as a talker, then a reader, eventually a writer, and by her teen years, the sirens of the stage were calling her name. With a BA in theatre, and absolutely no other marketable skills (not even waitressing), she got some headshots made and called herself an actress. Believe it or not, some people fell for it, and if you look really closely, and don’t blink, you can see her in movies like What The Bleep Do We Know? and The Temp. The desire to write remained strong though, and was her real calling. After many years of practice, and lots and lots of reading, her first novel, Restoring Harmony, was published. It went on to be long listed for the American Library Association’s Best New Young Adult Fiction, and chosen as the Feature Title for Cincinnati’s Teen on the Same Page Festival. Her second novel, The Right & the Real also an ALA’s Best YA Fiction nominee was named a Bank Street’s 2013 Best Books of the Year. Her third novel, a new YA published under the pen name J. M. Kelly called Speed of Life was hailed by Publisher's Weekly as: a believable portrait of blue-collar teens struggling to make it work against tough odds and her first Middle Grade, A Month of Mondays will be released March 7th, 2017. She enjoys teaching writing workshops to writers of all ages. Visit her on the web at www.joelleanthony.com and www.jmkellywrites.com Follow her on Twitter @joellewrites
