Whatever the genre, she hopes she creates characters you can root for. She enjoys writing all kinds of books, because each one brings a different experience. Raven Kennedy is a tea and dark chocolate kind of girl and can often be found binge-watching The Office or The Great British Baking Show. You can connect with her on Facebook in Raven Kennedy's Reader Group, as well as on Instagram. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s with her family, probably messing up a recipe or going on a hike that she thinks she can do, but in reality she can't because she remembers that all she does is sit at a computer all day and write her heart out.
