Duff, Kelly: - Kelly Duff is an award-winning romance author who has been writing about strong women and hunky heroes since she was eight-years-old. Inspired by music and thanks to a career in the radio business, Kelly tends to weave her experiences from the green rooms and backstages of concert venues into her romance novels. When she's not wrangling her two fur babies, Kelly and her husband are usually binge-watching TV shows or listening to music. They live in the burbs outside Chicago.
