Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Shelley Monch Kelly. Welcome, Shelly. Thank you so much.

I'm glad to be here, Don. It is our pleasure. Shelly, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

I am now. It's been a long time to reach this point.

We want to hear that entire backstory.

S.M. Kelly is a New York-based writer from Tokyo via Los Angeles with 20 years' experience.

She has written five ghostwritten books and more than 3,500 articles for numerous

industries. Her freelance clients include Google, L'Oreal Paris, Paramount Studios, Marvel Comics, Warner

Brothers, and many, many others. She lives in New York with her husband Mike and their rescue

bulldog Sherman.

Tell our listeners just for a minute what you're up to now that has you motivated and fascinated.

Yes.

In fact, today is, let's see, less than 24 hours from now, here's your pill kitten,

will debut on Amazon and Kindle and Barnes & Noble.

As you mentioned, it is my first non-ghost written book.

I'm used to writing books for other clients due to a pretty catastrophic accident I experienced about two years ago in Manhattan where I broke my femur.

I kind of made the proverbial picture of lemonade out of lemons.
