After training in dozens of fighting systems, Kely McClung was launched into the film industry soon after winning the brutal International Full Contact Stick Fighting Championships.

Besides acting and serving various crew positions, both in production and post-production, Kely has directed three award-winning feature films.

A prolific screenwriter, Kely is also an accomplished artist and photographer. His pen and ink portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi hangs at the King Center in Atlanta, Georgia, while his photography is represented at the Michael-Warren Contemporary in Denver, Colorado.

Twice inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Honours in Germany, Kely continues to train with and teach various military, police, and private security operators across the globe.

LOOP is Kely’s first novel. Look for Bad Ass, Ula, and Jessie in the upcoming sequel, THE INFECTED.

The heart-pounding action-thriller BLACK FIRE, the first volume in the BLACK HEART TRILOGY, is coming soon!
