Kelsey Nerrie has a storied career across the film industry in addition to excursions into the private sector, publishing, and motherhood. She is a reader and writer at her core. Growing up, Kelsey lived in her local library inhaling the likes of The Magic Treehouse and Harry Potter series and then on to a deeper exploration of humanity via Kundera, Dostoyevsky, Knowles, and more recently, Rooney. Her dark humor was shaped by British comedies (The Holy Grail, Are You Being Served?) and her love of spectacle, black comedy, and the paranormal was influenced by film & tv of the 90s and 2000s, from Independence Day, Demolition Man, and The Mummy, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Supernatural.
Kelsey’s writing style stems from the prose and narrative structures of literature and the dry wit of the Flying Circus. Hard-hitting emotions and facing up to our true selves is the overarching theme in most of her writing. She does not tie herself down to a single genre but instead explores those truths in whichever genre will resonate with her characters and the journeys they lead her on.
