Kelly Riddle is a budding author and a strong advocator for mental illness awareness. A seemingly average girl from a small town in rural Massachusetts, Kelly was changed forever by her near-death experience related to a five-year-long battle with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Noise was written between the ages of 14 and 16 while Kelly was in high school, from which she graduated with a top position. She is 18 and in her freshman year of college at Northeastern University. There, she spends her free time mothering a happy-go-lucky Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy named Wednesday. And, as a Behavioural Neuroscience major, Kelly continues to pursue her passion for understanding and overcoming mental illness. She plans to continue writing and already has plans for following books.
