Fueled by endless cups of tea.
My name is Kelly Hartog and I’m a left-brain and a right-brain writer.
I work as a writer and editor for newspapers, magazines and online publications around the globe. I’ve covered news, politics, religion, arts, entertainment et al for The Jerusalem Post in Israel where I lived for 11 years; survived an Al Qaeda suicide bombing attack in Kenya.
Until August 30, 2010, I lived with my adorable Golden Retriever, Bridget. She passed away at the age of 13 and a half, from cancer. I’d had her from when she was seven weeks old.
I also had bunion surgery in 2011 and chronicled my experiences for others undergoing the process at a separate blog you can read here, entitled: Not Another Bunion Surgery Blog.

Finally meeting a fellow author… in person!
As you know, I've waxed lyrical, poetical and every other "al" you can think of about the Women's Fiction Writers Association, and I can't wait for our retreat in New Mexico at the end of September. But one of the greatest things about our little (well now over 600...
