Amazing!
Thank you!
A graveside service with a man and a couple with their backs facing us. The novel title 'The Funeral Guest' displays in the middle of the image. At the top reads 'She's paid to be at the funeral. He's there to make sure his secrets stay buried.' Below the title is 'A thriller by K.C. Selby, Querying Soon.'
An actress moonlighting as a professional mourner launches an investigation into the murders occurring on her sister’s campus after police don’t believe she saw the killer at a victim’s funeral; but in keeping her sister safe, she inadvertently puts them in the killer’s sights. #PosterPit #Q #T #A

Finished a short story draft!

Excited to share that a short story of mine was selected to be included in The Most Dangerous Games anthology, publishing in June by Level Best Books!
Last year, I only wrote one short story (focused on my novels). I just started writing them again and forgot how much I enjoy it. It’s so fun to be able to jump into a new character for just a thousand or so words. And as a plus, it’s a good break from editing.
Maybe it just takes a bit to get used to! I’m claustrophobic, so that’s what would get me
I don’t think I could have made it even a minute!
Happy New Year everyone! I may not have hit my main goal in 2024, but I’m still proud of what I did accomplish, and I look forward to seeing what I can do in 2025. Hope you’re feeling proud of yourself too!
Hi all! New to Bluesky and thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Kelly (KC), a contemporary fiction writer from the Midwest. Outside of writing/reading, I love running (road & trail) and if money were no object I’d live on a horse farm with a handful of dogs. I look forward to connecting with everyone!
