Besides writing, which I love, I volunteer in animal welfare, walking dogs, helping with adoptions, and serving as Volunteer Director for Georgia SPOT Society. We provide financial aid for spaying and neutering pets, addressing the pet overpopulation crisis, especially in Georgia, where I live with my foster dog, Callum. I wanted to combine my love for writing and helping animals, so I decided to donate book proceeds to SPOT. When you buy my books, you're making a difference in an animal's life.

With the support of my sisters-Barb, who contributes to material costs, and Bonnie, who sews and knits bandannas, totes, and scarves-we've raised more for SPOT. All sales go to SPOT, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. You can learn more at https: //spotsociety.org.

Callum, my foster dog and SPOT Ambassador, models the "Callum Collection" of bandannas and scarves. Find us on Facebook at my personal page, Gwen Kelly, or Georgia SPOT Society.

Help me continue this mission by purchasing my books, signing up for my newsletter, and spreading the word. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of animals in need.
