Originally from the Missouri Ozarks, Paulette Kennedy now lives with her family in a quiet suburb of Los Angeles.

When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys tending to her garden, knitting, and finding unique vintage treasures at thrift stores and flea markets.

As a history lover, she can get lost for days in her research—learning everything she can about the places in her stories and the experiences her characters might have had in the past.

This dedication to research infuses her world-building with realistic detail and creates a cinematic, immersive experience for the reader.

Paulette’s next novel is The Devil and Mrs. Davenport, a domestic gothic set in the 1950s about a homemaker who develops psychic abilities after a viral illness.

The story follows a family of hereditary witches/folk healers who grapple with a generational curse set into motion by their ancestor's spurned, vengeful suitor. It's highly feminist and a love letter to the place I'm from.(less)

Quotes by Paulette Kennedy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It was surreal, how everything continued, how everything kept on after a person died. Shouldn’t time stop for grief, even for a moment, so one might catch their breath before things started moving again?”
Paulette Kennedy, The Witch of Tin Mountain

“One truly begins living once they no longer hold the opinions of others in high regard.”
Paulette Kennedy, Parting the Veil

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that home is less about the place you live, and more about the people who love you. The memories you make. The laughter and tears and all the moments in between.”
Paulette Kennedy, The Witch of Tin Mountain
