Spokane Coeur d'Alene living magazine:
my latest editorial challenge
In January of 2023, I took on the job of editing this beautiful magazine. For a look as a few of my latest articles, click HERE.
I am still writing nonfiction for young readers. I will never stop writing for kids as long as I have air to breath. My next book is about the only dinosaur fossil ever found in Washington State.
After that, it will be a sequel to CRYPTID CREATURES: A FIELD GUIDE called SEA MONSTERS A FIELD GUIDE. I hope BABY CRYPTIDS is after SEA MONSTERS.
Rick Spears is illustrating all three books, and I can't wait.
Bookapalooza in Sugar Land, Texas on April 29 was a blast!
I had so much fun at Franklin Elementary in Pullman in March 2023.
I love these shirts so, so much!
Virtual visits and live school visits! Hooray!
Even before Covid-19, I was doing Virtual Visits for schools, libraries and festivals whenever a host couldn't afford travel and hotel expenses. After Covid-19, a lot of my traditional author visits were converted to Virtual Visits. I have a special studio, the right webcam and microphone equipment and more than 15 different presentation topics to choose from. And almost everyone can afford one -- or two or three or four.

Thank you, SPokesman Review and Cindy Hval, journalist supreme!
I stopped by at "New day Northwest," in Seattle, WA
on King 5 on Friday, September 27, 2019. Check it out!
Love that so many of my Seattle friends came to the Redmond book launch for Cryptid Creatures! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Owen! Your "Nessie" drawing is GReat!
Thank you, Cybils for naming death eaters a middle grade winner!
Kids often ask me, "What would you do if you met Sasquatch?"
The video above is exactly what I'd do. I hope it happens someday!
When I wrote GHOSTLY EVIDENCE, I did a lot of research in haunted places including the haunted house in the video above. See if you hear the voice of a very young ghost in this recording. And let me know what you think!
I've lost too many pets recently, so I'm working on a new book -- animal afterlife. I'm gathering true stories of pets who visited their owners, After they died. I hope it will help all of us who miss the pets we loved deeply. The book will take time. So for now, here's a slideshow of my animal angels.
Remember, If you've lost a pet and you're still sad, you'r not alone. I'm here for you!
WANT A STICKER? Illustrator Rick Spears created this fun sticker design for me. If you want one, email me at kellymilnerh@aol.com and I'll mail you one. It's my way of saying THANK YOU for considering my books and my school visits. I think they are GREAT. I hope you like them, too!
