KayLee's passion for writing began way back in middle school when, for her "Heroic Journey," she determined to write a book. Though, it wasn't until her senior year of high school that she truly believed she could turn writing into her career. The book she wrote her final year of high school she recently self-published with Writer's Republic as her first novel, The In Between. She eagerly anticipates authoring many more.
