Kelly Proudfoot

About

Australian born and bred, now living in Nashville Tennessee with her husband Robert and two black cats - Thor and Vali. Kelly's articles have been published in Llewellyn's Almanacs, such as the 2011 Magical Almanac, 2012 Witches' Spell A Day Almanac and the 2013 Herbal Almanac.

Delwyn of the Realms (and the Storming Archives) are semi-autobiographical, as Kelly deals with sleep disorders and has experience with astral projection. 

She drew on her wild fantasies, dreams and hypnagogic hallucinations to weave these stories together into one tale - about a woman who discovers that she may not be as crazy as everyone might have her think.

Story Behind The Book

Since I was a child, I've always been fascinated with mirrors. My elders had to cover the mirrors at night, as I was often found in front of them "talking to the other girl". I also dealt with hypnopompic hallucinations and astral projection. Later on, I became enamored with the idea of alternate worlds, portals to other dimensions and mythology. I've used my experiences and research into these realms for the creation of The Storming Archives.
