Kelly D. Scott

About

By day Kelly D. Scott is buried in Excel spreadsheets. Which is why she must write.

She graduated from Texas A&M University with a BBA in Accounting and almost ten years later she completed her MS in Accounting at UT Dallas.

She wrote her first manuscript in 2017 when a photo in People magazine sparked an idea. 130,000 words later that book is parked safely in a drawer.

Kelly resides in the Dallas area with her art teacher husband (whom she met on Eharmony) and her two boys. She has lived in Texas all of her life except for those two and a half years she was a missionary in China and Thailand. Oh, and she did spend a summer as a missionary in Australia where she learned how to do the Tim Tam slam. When Kelly isn’t writing or lost in Excel, she enjoys reading, cooking, baking, watching football, and spending time with her family. She is a member of ACFW and FHLCW. Connect with Kelly!

We have a title for my book that’s releasing in We have a title for my book that’s releasing in Feb 2027!! Let’s guess! 

The picture contains clues and my newsletter subscribers received one significant clue.

Here’s some more hints: This is a second chance romance and the first line is all one word and related to “second chance.” The song is a major clue for the last line.
 
The title is 4 words.

Have fun!! #titlereveal #titleguess #secondchanceromance #newbook
