About the Authors: Kelly Farmer has been writing romance novels since junior high. The stories have changed, but one theme remains the same: everyone deserves to have a happy ending. She loves telling tales with a touch of snark and a lot of heart. When not writing, she enjoys being outside in nature, quoting from Eighties movies, listening to all kinds of music, and petting every dog she meets. All of these show up in her books.
Ms. Farmer is the author of the new romance book, It’s a Fabulous Life, perfect for the holiday season! Susie Dumond, author of Queerly Beloved, says, “This delightful small-town holiday rom-com full of sapphic love and drag queens will make your heart grow three sizes. It’s a Fabulous Life is as sweet and heartwarming as a cup of hot cocoa on Christmas morning.” Find out more about her at www.kellyfarmerauthor.com.
