Cecilia Kennedy earned a doctorate in Spanish Literature and taught English composition and Spanish for 20 years in Ohio before moving to the Greater Seattle area in 2016. She is now the sole proprietor of Paper/Rock Writing Consultation (paperrockwriting.com). In her spare time, she writes ghost/horror stories that have been published in literary magazines and journals. However, her scariest writing is reserved for her DIY blog, "Fixin' Leaks and Leeks" (https://fixinleaksnleeksdiy.blog/) where she describes her attempts at cooking and home repair. Her husband Nathan, and son Alex, are great sports who have read all of her works. She also has a cat named SeaTac who is probably plotting to run away to a deserted island with her husband.
