Kellie Doherty is a queer science fiction and fantasy author who lives in Eagle River, Alaska.

Kellie’s work has been published in Image OutWrite 2019, Astral Waters Review, Life (as it) Happens, and Impact, among others.

Her adult sci-fi debut novel—Finding Hekate—came out in April 2016 from Desert Palm Press and the sequel—Losing Hold—came out in April 2017. She’s currently working on a five-book adult fantasy series. The first book Sunkissed Feathers & Severed Ties released in March 2019 from Desert Palm Press and won a 2019 Rainbow Award. The second book Curling Vines & Crimson Trades launched in November 2020! An excerpt from Curling Vines won first place in an Alaska Writers Guild Fiction contest in 2020.
