Keelyn Therese Healy

Biography Keelyn T. Healy, originally from Gig Harbor, WA graduated from UC Irvine with a BA in English Literature. After a couple years of playing NCAA Division I soccer on scholarship, another side of her unfurled and yearned to travel.  Soon, she was in Florence and under its spell. Once immersed in the Italian culture, she was officially hellbent on staying as long as possible. After three plus years of living, studying (AIS Sommelier school and Culinary school) and working in Florence, Italy, she returned to the US to attend grad school at The University of Southern California, receiving a Masters in Professional Writing. Since then, she’s been an English and Physical Education teacher, and now a wine consultant at K&L Wine Merchants. Her publications include: The Seattle Review, Faultline, The Southern California Anthology, and The Body Eclectic (published by Henry Holt), among others. She currently is enraptured by fiction with two freshly finished novels under her belt. She lives with her beautiful girlfriend, Kelly and their two big dogs in San Francisco, CA.
