Abbey MacInnis aka Kelli Finger   

Admittedly, I’m not one who really enjoys talking about myself. I’m usually more comfortable sitting and hiding in the corner reading a book, than being the center of attention. I was always encouraged to read as a kid, and I’ve been hooked ever since. All of the glamour and adventure I’ve experienced has been found within the pages of a book and in my own active imagination. I’ve been everywhere and spent time exploring nearly every period throughout history, and even a few realms to keep things interesting. I’ve solved crimes, slept with vampires, had tea with a Countess, waltzed with a Duke, been rescued by a knight, ridden cross-country on a stage coach to be robbed by bandits, kidnapped by outlaws, danced with fairies and cast spells with witches. I find stories, all of them wonderful and fun, no matter the genre. However, I have a particular soft spot for romances. The world we live in can be full of pain and ugliness and negativity. Sometimes, we just need to get away from it all, and enjoy a good story that ends happily and makes us feel good inside.

I’ve been writing seriously since May of 2006, although the writing bug had bitten me nearly four years before. Until I graduated with my Masters’ in Social work, my creative energy was focused on academic writing, rather than for my own pleasure and entertainment. I’m absolutely thrilled now to be writing what I love. History has always fascinated me, so many of my stories written as Abbey MacInnis will be historicals. Along with writing fantasy romances as one half of Daisy Kelli, as Abbey MacInnis, I also write contemporaries showcasing strong characters and stories that will make your heart sigh. There’s something to be said about fulfilling the needs of your soul. Creating characters to fall in love with and adore, makes me proud of what I do. I hope you will grow to love my characters and stories just as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.

I live in south-east Michigan with my family, who are, hands down my biggest supporters. Their quiet strength and support is all I need. They, along with writing friends both online and in person, and the members of the three RWA chapters I belong to, The Greater Detroit Chapter, the Mid Michigan chapter, and the online chapter, Hearts Through History give me the motivation I need to keep going to travel down this rocky path toward publication.
