Welcome to my small part of the web ~ www.kelliefinley.com.
My name is Kellie Finley and I write romantic suspense that's ripped from today's headlines. Stories with a puzzle for your mind, and a romance for your heart.

During my writing career, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work closely with Brenda Novak (www.brendanovak.com). She is an incredibly talented author, savvy business woman, and an inspiring mother. May 2008 will mark her fourth year of organizing and leading an online charity auction to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Brenda's son is diabetic and her endless support of him, both on a daily basis and through the auction is awe inspiring.
The auction, which runs for the full month of May, hosts a huge variety of items--for readers, for writers, and for just about everyone under the sun. I encourage you to visit here to learn more about the auction. You will want to visit often as items are being added daily between now and the May 1st start date.
This year, I again designed and crafted handmade rosaries for the auction. You can view them here on my website or go directly to the auction page to view them. New rosary designs as well as several pieces of jewelry round out this year's collection.
In addition, I'm running a contest here on my website, to celebrate the auction and all mothers do for their children (especially Brenda!) To be entered in the contest, you only need to be a member of my newsletter mailing list at the time of the drawing on June 1, 2008. Click here to join my mailing list. What could you win? This lovely "wish" bracelet and earrings set.
Fashioned out of leopard skin agate, Swarovski garnet crystals, polished Hematite hearts, and silver accents, this "wish" bracelet sports a small charm box to hold your most precious wish. Simply write your desire on a small piece of paper, open the box and insert it, make a wish, and close up the box, keeping the dream alive and with you always. Set includes matching earrings.
I encourage all of you to mark your calendars for May and join the fun!
