About the Author

Kayli Shenk is an emerging voice in contemporary fiction, drawing from her deep connection to coastal landscapes and the intricate tapestries of human emotion to craft stories that resonate with quiet intensity. Born and raised in a small seaside town, she honed her storytelling skills through years of journaling and community theater before pursuing a degree in creative writing. Shenk's debut novel, Woven In Salt, explores themes of loss, resilience, and the enduring pull of family ties against the backdrop of a weathered fishing village.

When not writing, she can be found wandering beaches or mentoring young writers in her local community.
