Kelly Scarborough worked for more than two decades as a law firm partner and white-collar prosecutor, but her real passion is reading and writing historical novels about the lives of fascinating women in challenging times. Her visits to Swedish castles and archives, along with the interesting people she met on her travels, inspired Butterfly Games, which is her debut novel. A lover of coastlines and sunsets, Kelly lives on the Connecticut Shoreline and in South Carolina’s Low Country, where she spends much of her time trying to keep track of her workaholic husband and appease her stubborn Shih Tzu.
