Chelsea Burton Dunn is a Kansas City native – the Missouri side not the Kansas side. That matters to locals. Where is that you might ask? Right, smack-dab in the middle of the country. She has two beautiful children and is married to a superb partner, but let’s not forget their snuggly cat and eager-eater of a dog.
Having always been a little strange herself, she instantly fell in love with paranormal, supernatural, and fantasy books, movies and tv shows as a child. Did everyone think it was a phase? Absolutely. Was it? Absolutely not. Being weird is a blessing, not a curse. She’s always embraced that part of herself and those around her.
She started writing from a very early age, initially starting and completing one of the Deadman’s Hand books in high school. She is a lover of music, having her other love and talent be for singing. She performed on main stage operas in the children’s chorus from grade school to high school.
Chelsea loves to delve into the difficulties of life, love, and loss, while spicing it up with a little magic and monsters. As she liked to say when she was younger, “the monsters in my head need to come out to play every once in a while,” so giving them life on the page seemed appropriate.
