Today, I’m revealing the blurb for my upcoming novel, Lost Souls (Release Year: 2027). I will announce any upcoming plans for a cover reveal later this year. In the meantime, watch this space or follow my website. #Booksky #BlurbReveal #UpcomingRelease

Image with text. Text: Blurb Reveal: Lost Souls. For well over one thousand years, Anubis has scoured Duat for the Ȧkiu, the lost souls of the dead. However, when his birth mother, Nephthys, is severely wounded by a demon, Osiris and Isis reassign him to the Land of the Living to shadow the one mortal whose soul Nephthys was to escort to Maāti. Now enrolled at Gold Valley University, Anubis faces his greatest challenge yet: navigating the modern world.
With the help of his brother, Horus, Anubis attempts to blend in as an undergraduate student. As he does so, he befriends the young woman whose soul he will eventually be guiding into Duat: Sidika Demir. When Anubis starts to realize he has feelings for her, a series of letters from an anonymous writer arrive at Sidika’s residence hall. Letters, Anubis is convinced, that will eventually lead to Sidika’s death. Scrapping their initial mission, Anubis and Horus explore the depths of Per-Metcha-Ḏḥuti to find Sidika's destiny scroll.
Will Anubis be able to save Sidika in time? Or will her soul be counted among the Ȧkiu?

Though I've been on social media for a while, I wanted to reintroduce myself and create an "About the Author" post. Learn more about me and my writing journey through the images below as well as on my website. Key terms: Author, Books, Dark, Romantic, Mythic, Fantasy #Booksky #Writersky

Image with a "hi" bitmoji sticker, "human author" badge, and text. Text: About the Author. Though I've been on social media for a while, I wanted to reintroduce myself and create an "About the Author" post. I’m Kelsey Ketch, author of romantic, dark, and mythic fantasy. My audience ranges from older teens (Upper YA) to younger adults (New Adult). And I'm anti-generative A.I.

Image with a "hi" bitmoji sticker, "human author" badge, and text. Text: About the Author. I started writing my first manuscript the summer before my junior year of high school (later titled and published as Death Island). Throughout high school and university, I spent my free time studying maritime history and writing. Then, while attending graduate school, I sent out queries to 199 agents.

Image with a "hi" bitmoji sticker, "human author" badge, and text. Text: About the Author. My manuscript was eventually accepted by an agent and submitted to 26 publishers. Unfortunately, Death Island was rejected, and my agent and I parted ways. I queried another manuscript, Daughter of Isis, for over nine months to agents and small publishers before finally deciding to self-publish my work.

Image with a "hi" bitmoji sticker, "human author" badge, and text. Text: About the Author. Since then, I have self-published multiple novels and short stories, which can be found at your favorite online store (see links in bio). To learn more about me and my writing journey, visit KelseyKetch.com.

As Yom Kippur came to a close this evening, I was privileged to join my friend, Ruth Messinger, at a break fast in her home. It was an honor to celebrate this moment of renewal with many of our Jewish neighbors. May it be a year of justice, joy and peace.
