Have you met me? I’m Kelly Robinson, a freelance writer in Knoxville, Tennessee, who has both ghostwritten for online psychics and crafted sex tips for an adult toy business. My articles have appeared in Mental Floss magazine and on Cracked magazine’s website.

When I’m not slow cooking or fast-talking, I’m reading Emile Zola or vintage crime novels, solving (or creating) crosswords, making not-very-good-yet fascinators (you can usually see the glue), or listening to ancient records on a dusty turntable.

I live at home with my carpetbagging fiance (he’s from Wisconsin), a ukulele-playing teenager, four cats, two dwarf hamsters, and a fluctuating number of hermit crabs. We are as happy as pigs in puddin’.
