Profile

After completing her first collection of short stories, BODY LANGUAGE, Kelly Magee (MFA, Fiction Writing, Ohio State University, 2003) is currently working on a novel set both on the Mexican/American border and in rural Florida, in which a housewife becomes caught up in the human smuggling trade. She is also completing a chapbook of short-short stories that imagine settings as active characters, often with their own points of view.
