Originally from the Missouri Ozarks, Paulette Kennedy now lives with her family in a quiet suburb of Los Angeles.

When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys tending to her garden, knitting, and finding unique vintage treasures at thrift stores and flea markets.

As a history lover, she can get lost for days in her research—learning everything she can about the places in her stories and the experiences her characters might have had in the past.

This dedication to research infuses her world-building with realistic detail and creates a cinematic, immersive experience for the reader.

Paulette’s next novel is The Devil and Mrs. Davenport, a domestic gothic set in the 1950s about a homemaker who develops psychic abilities after a viral illness. ...more

The story follows a family of hereditary witches/folk healers who grapple with a generational curse set into motion by their ancestor's spurned, vengeful suitor.
