D.J. Kelley is an author, speaker, storyteller, and a personal online dating coach. After losing his parents at a young age, D.J. set out on a path of introspection and personal development. His studies revealed more about human behavior, both his own and that of others, than he could have ever imagined. His fresh look at life is filtered through comedy colored glasses with a hint of irony. Writing from his perch on the Gulf of Mexico, D.J. has been a featured contributor to newsletters and local newspapers, and his Florida-based short stories have been described as both comic strips and fables. Imperfect Heroes is his first novel.
