Kelly Utt

Kelly Utt writes emotional novels for readers who enjoy both suspense and sentimentality. She was born in Youngstown, Ohio in 1976.

Kelly grew up with a dad who would read a book on a weighty topic, ask her to read it, too, and then insist they discuss it together, igniting her passion for life's big questions. That passion is often reflected in Kelly's novels, giving them a depth which leaves readers wanting more and thinking about her stories long after the last lines are read.

Kelly is author of two different suspense-filled series.

The Rosemary Run Series is set in the fictional Northern California town of Rosemary Run where there's trouble brewing below the picture-perfect surface. Each novel in the Rosemary Run Series features one woman’s harrowing story.

The George Hartmann Series features fictional military hero turned family man George Hartmann. A centuries-old vendetta is back. And they want his boy dead.
