About Random Acts of Authorship:

My name is Kelly and I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I've always loved writing and I really enjoy sharing my stories here; I hope people enjoy reading them! It's always nice to hear what you think, so please feel free to leave a review, send me a message or drop by my journal. I no longer post multi-chaptered stories unless they're finished, so if I'm currently updating a story you can be sure of regular updates.

Four Sisters - Indefinitely on hold. I may revisit this after finishing up my in-progress projects.

Completed chaptered stories

Free Love - The version posted is the third draft. I have no plans to update it further at the moment. In July 2007 this story was nominated in the "Best Love Triangle" category of SKoW Awards. The short story Walking On The Moon is also part of this universe.

A Marriage of Inconvenience - my glorious failure :-) While I'm not really happy with how this turned out, I learned a lot from writing it and I'm delighted to have finally finished the first (and probably only) draft.
