(lots of traveling back and forth) She has written articles on and done one-on-one exclusive interviews with celebs such as Tracey Gold, Cloris Leachman, and most recently, Trisha Yearwood, for various online entertainment sites. Tom Bergeron often shares and retweets her weekly reviews of “Dancing With the Stars”, and has referred to Kelley’s writing and humor as “wonderfully snarky.” Kelley is also honored to be a weekly writer for the Soaring Spirit’s blog “Widows Voice”, and a featured weekly writer at LoveTV, where she writes about sex, dating, and love – from the widowed perspective. Kelley is a proud TEDx speaker. Her TEDx talk, performed live on March 31, 2017 in NYC, is titled “When Someone You Love Dies, There is No Such Thing as Moving On.” It currently has over half a million views on YouTube. Kelley has performed stand-up comedy in numerous NYC clubs, as well as in various venues around the country. she was an Adjunct Professor at Adelphi University; teaching acting and Stand-Up Comedy for 16 years. Kelley has performed with such names as Judy Gold, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, and Elayne Boosler. She has been featured in several comedy videos for the “OpieRadio” YouTube channel (“The Opie and Jim Norton Show” – xm/Sirius satellite radio). Most recently, a Vine video featuring Kelley called #McFallen, went viral , with the term Mcfallen becoming a hashtag trending sensation. The Vine came from an original full length video , called “Oh! Ive McFallen”, on the @opieradio youtube channel. Both videos can be found on my websites VIDEO page. Kelley has guested on the OpieRadio podcast twice in 2018, as well as recently being a guest on the cable TV show “Open to Hope”, discussing widowhood and dating after loss. On July 13th, 2011, Kelley’s life changed forever when her dear husband of almost 5 years collapsed at work and died from a sudden, massive heart-attack. He was a healthy 46 year old paramedic, animal activist, and Air Force veteran. In March 2012; Kelley wrote, directed, and starred in an original one-woman show about her husband’s death entitled: “My Husband Is Not a Rainbow”, in the Network’s One-Act Play Festival, where she placed in the Semi-Finals. Kelley has taken her “dead husband comedy” to several venues and events, including performing stand-up for a couple hundred psychiatrists, therapists, and doctors at an Awards Event. Kelley has presented her comedic, 75-minute talk, to groups of widowed men and women, at the Soaring Spirits “Camp Widow” www.campwidow.org events, in San Diego, Tampa, and Toronto, since 2012. Kelley’s first book, “My Husband Is Not a Rainbow: The Brutally Awful, Hilarious Truth about Life, Love, Grief, and Loss”, was released in June of 2018 and is currently available on Amazon. BONUS KELLEY FACTS: Kelley is afraid of the number 7. She finds the number 7 to be especially frightening, when someone draws it with a line through the middle. The number 9 is fun and pleasing to her, and the 7 appears creepy and angular and mean. Kelley has weird food issues that cannot be explained. She hates ketchup with the fire of a thousand suns. Watching someone’s chin drip with butter and corn pieces while they eat corn on the cob, is enough to send Kelley into panic mode. She cannot eat anything that involves“wet” bread, such as sloppy joes, or a “hot open turkey sandwich.” (which sounds oddly sexual and disturbing.) Kelley loves the taste of mayonnaise, but if she sees it coming out of the corners of her sandwich, or on the corner’s of someone’s mouth, she will have to leave the room immediately, and not eat the sandwich at all. When Kelley was 20 years old, she was arrested in a Caldor department store for shoplifting 1980’s compilation cassette tapes. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. While working as a Tour Guide at Radio City Music Hall years ago, Kelley was once screamed at by Barry Manilow, when she walked a group of tourists into the middle of his sound-check rehearsal. Barry instructed Kelley that her tourists were to put their cameras away immediately, and would not be able to watch the rehearsal. Barry was wearing a red satin jacket and sporting a lovely permed hair-cut, as he barked out these orders to Kelley. In the 1980’s, during her high school years, a smart-ass friend of Kelley’s entered her into “The Miss Teen Massachusetts Pagent”, knowing how much Kelley despised “girly things” such as this. She did the pagent, came in as 3rd Runner-up, and went home with a plastic trophy, and a years supply of Hawaiian Tropic tanning lotion. Kelley loathes all forms of exercise, especially running – and immensely enjoys eating cake, all forms of potato, and anything involving gravy. A video of Kelley Lynn falling in a McDonalds and saying “Ive McFallen” has become an overnight internet sensation!!!

This brutally raw and often hilarious peek into one woman's brave struggle in the aftermath of her husband's death, and the beautiful love between them that started it all, will have you laughing, crying, and re-thinking everything you thought you knew about life, love, grief, and loss. Written in real time and told through poetry, journal entries, Facebook posts, grief-counseling session snippets, and letters to her dead husband, "Rainbow" will have you falling in love with love, while simultaneously feeling validated in your own personal grief tsunami. "My Husband Is Not a Rainbow" is for anyone who has ever felt lost, hopeless, and alone in times of grief. It is for anyone who has ever loved someone, and then had to figure out what life looked like without them here on earth. It is for anyone who has taken pain and turned it into purpose, and anyone courageous enough to keep on living, even while having the knowledge that people will keep on dying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1626898819451-3SPNXOSZMVS9QD09ZEYU/1720670617.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SX500_.jpg Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://akelleylynnlife.com/acting-tv-film daily 0.75 2021-08-03 https://akelleylynnlife.com/podcasts-interviews daily 0.75 2021-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1628025217110-SI3XUJF79POQN1DCZS0Y/Screen+Shot+2021-08-03+at+2.13.09+PM.png Podcasts/Interviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1628524134376-PKA9V4W9CXTGM34TQEYS/Screen+Shot+2021-08-09+at+8.44.51+AM.png Podcasts/Interviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1628024999629-6V3AF8VAMIG1FACVAU2A/Episode%2B96%2BEpisode%2BGraphic.png Podcasts/Interviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1628025437601-P1DYKTR3CCRPXUBRC2RS/Screen+Shot+2021-08-03+at+2.16.57+PM.png Podcasts/Interviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1628025339931-USCGXOQF4X9XY1UKF6BZ/Screen+Shot+2021-08-03+at+2.15.14+PM.png Podcasts/Interviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1628025587018-A6JE3V4DKDEPXNOKYLOG/Screen+Shot+2021-08-03+at+2.19.19+PM.png Podcasts/Interviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://akelleylynnlife.com/photo-gallery daily 0.75 2021-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/0c4de201-1892-410c-a85b-96066953dada/filming+photo+two.jpg Photo Gallery On the set https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/c15a7471-475b-49dc-b365-69a892b4a9c3/Open+to+Hope.jpg Photo Gallery With Michelle Miller on the set of OPEN TO HOPE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/7750f241-90ff-4752-b562-a9c643e5c3f2/widowed+choir.jpg Photo Gallery Singing "widowed Christmas carols" at Camp Widow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/58b677d1-afa9-473a-8bcc-eae333f7fde3/filming+photo+one.jpg Photo Gallery On the set https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/a9bd1ec0-dfba-467d-b56b-c415f76753c4/filming+chucked.jpg Photo Gallery With Charles McBee, filming "Its a Chucked Up Life" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/2c6fa694-b474-4a76-b032-3de6413815b8/chicken+soup+%281%29.jpg Photo Gallery holding Chicken Soup for the soul book that my story was featured in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/dac72b28-a14d-4315-8ce7-0a143ad4633e/with+elizabeth+warren.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/af23e721-7c0d-4a32-89f9-ea1c1cadf1ff/with+Gregg+Opie+Hughes+NYC.jpg Photo Gallery With Greg Opie Hughes, NYC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/b57e9762-609e-442d-8838-5acf5cf47cdf/Talent+Night+Strong+Style+Coffee.jpg Photo Gallery Talent Night, Strong Style Coffee https://akelleylynnlife.com/store daily 0.75 2021-07-27 https://akelleylynnlife.com/store/coaching monthly 0.5 2021-07-29 https://akelleylynnlife.com/store/p/writing-coach monthly 0.5 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1627520299000-ZN3YCX8D6VF3NXU4SCKK/proifle-now.jpeg Kelley's Store - Writing Coach = $55 per hour (includes session and edits/rewrites etc on content) https://akelleylynnlife.com/store/p/grief-coaching monthly 0.5 2021-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1627519787135-6MQSYFCE4IK85J795WQ0/Modern-Widows-Club.jpeg Kelley's Store - Grief Coaching https://akelleylynnlife.com/store/p/style-01-deytj monthly 0.5 2021-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603994731437-KTTMR9VGPR43KG9VKXXR/acc_1-Detail.jpg Kelley's Store - My Husband is NOT a Rainbow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f83c299c645910f8d71b2b/1626898819451-3SPNXOSZMVS9QD09ZEYU/1720670617.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SX500_.jpg Kelley's Store - My Husband is NOT a Rainbow
