Kelly Suellentrop is an author and an illustrator, which are the two exact things she always wanted to be when she grew up. But she also would not mind being a professional roller coaster rider, a tour guide at Graceland, or the drummer in a band...if only she knew how to play the drums. Though she lists among her talents a knack for redecorating rooms which are already sufficiently decorated and being exceptionally good at "Saved By The Bell" trivia , she will admit that writing is probably one of her strongest suits. She started a blog in 2011 called "Are You Finished Yet?," which has been named a WordPress Recommended Family Blog. She has also been featured elsewhere on the internet, including the Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, BlogHer, and in two e-guides sponsored by the website, Parent-Tested Parent-Approved. 

Kelly lives in St. Louis, Missouri with her husband and their two children...who may or may not bear a resemblance to her characters, Lulu and Milo.
