New Sci-Fi Comedy Book
GUYS! I woke up in the middle of the night with a Sassy, funny sci-fi comedy. I woke up and wrote the first five. Hey, I can paint multiple paintings in the same time frame…why not write two books? Then, I celebrated by working on this painting. You see writing gives me purpose and art fills my soul. Kinda like inhale and exhale. #art #painting #figurepainting #artist #writer #author #scifiauthor #scifiart #scifibooks #artwork #abstractart #book #bookishmemes #painting #longbeach

Happy New Year!
When I started writing 𝘑𝘜𝘔𝘗𝘌𝘙, I had absolutely no intention on inputting in a love story. None. I wanted to steer away from romance and stick with a steady sci-fi thriller. By the first chapter, something happened, a click I never thought would come, and I knew that I owed it to the story to tell its truth. I let the story breath on its own, and it took ahold of me and hasn’t let go. I also never intended on making it a series. In a few days the first book comes out, and in it it says that it’s book one of a three part series. There will be more than three. Perhaps five. I have started writing book two 𝘊𝘖𝘕𝘛𝘐𝘕𝘜𝘜𝘔, and have been pouring myself into research as it will be more extensive and most likely longer. My mind is whirling with images and I can’t wait to draw them for you! #JUMPERBOOK #bookrelease #scifibookclub #scifireader #scifibooklove #scifi #scifiart #scififantasy #scifiartwork #scifiworld #scifiartist #scifiillustration #scifiromance #scifiwriter #scifithriller #thrillerbooks #art #kelliethomaswalker #illustration #palmettopublishing #sketch #2022 #happynewyear
I got my first tattoo today. It’s the geometric circle/line. My 2nd born got her 4th. I sketched it to signify my purpose along my life like. Help one person. I wanted to get this done before my book launch. I postponed the book relaunch until after the new year.

“JUMPER” to be self published
I can’t stop thinking about my two main characters, so I sketch them. Hoping for end of December-January for online book release. Drawings pertaining to my novel are only available for print purchase, the originals are not for sale. I hope they open the door for you to the world I created. “JUMPER” is book one in a scifi/fantasy romance. I wrote it like I paint and draw - with a psychological approach to the inner self. When the idea took form I NEVER intended for it to be a love story. It just happened, and like with my art - I let it happen. I paint and write with my instinct at the wheel. “art #book #author #artist #selfpublising #fantasyart #fantasybooks #sciencefiction #booklover #romancebooks #illustration #artistsoninstagram #artwork #figurativeart #charcoaldrawing #artgallery #artcollector #romancenovels #longbeach #losangeles #kelliethomaswalker #interiordesign
“Jumper” book release
I’ve decided to self publish book 1 of my “Jumper” series. Throughout the past 18 months I have been sketching and painting characters and emotions from my book. I have become profoundly connected to the characters in my story. I dream about them. They are there with me every day. When I release this book please know that it has me with it. #jumperbook #kelliethomaswalker #author #selfpublising #scifi #scifibooks #sciencefiction #sciencefictionbooks #romancebooks #bookrelease #books #art #artofinstagram #artwork #drawing #abstractart #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #longbeach #losangeles #writer #amwriting #bookrecommendations
Can you see?
Look close. Looks like one, but there is two. I finished the end to the first book in my “Jumper” series, and I can’t stop seeing my characters…so I draw them. #art #drawing #books #scifibooks #romancenovel #booklover #jumperbookseries
Elephant sketch. I’m finishing up this guy while listening to opera. Yep…opera. I’ve lived it since I was in muddle school - yeah, little weirdo huh? I love rock and of course alt (in my early twenties I bounced between grunge and alt looks). Sorry country fans - even though I was raised in the country, I don’t care for country music. Darn, as I’m writing this I realize how bad I need to see an optometrist. It might be time for contacts. Happy Fall Friday

Our day with Tara (Walker as she’s now called)
Our oldest TAra is a sailor. Dean and I had the best day in Chicago with our sailor. She had tons of food, coffee-all the things she couldn’t have did ten weeks. Now off to train for Air Rescue for the next year. It was incredibly hard watching her walk away from us tonight. We’re so proud of our 21 year old (turned 21 in boot camp) @tbw_dynamite #navy #navysailor #bootcampgraduation #ourdaywithtara #chicago
She’s the tiny one holding the blue flag. The Guidon I am told.
The Navy graduation was beautiful! Incredibly precise, it brought tears to my eyes to finally see my baby.
Navy Pier with Chicago in the background. Dean and I spent two additional days in Chicago, we loved it that much. So clean, and the ARCHITECTURE! Wow!
Navy Pier with Mom and Dad. I was 24 when I had Tara, Dean was 23. We have 4 girls now Tara 21, Reese 18, Kameryn 16 (almost 17), and Drew 14. The boot camp journey was more difficult on our end then I was expecting. I didn’t expect the emotions that we experienced but Dean and I did it together, and have grown even more close - if that were possible.
Mama and T
Chicago River Walk…a MUST
We HAD to find sushi! We’re Californians. Me being the Mama that I am made her put three napkins over her white uniform. Soy sauce stains BAD!
I snuck this. It tugged at my heart strings watching them walk together
