Kel began her writing career in college where she would disgust her classmates on purpose, writing short stories about body horror, monsters, and the fear of the unknowable. When she joined Reddit's NoSleep forum under the username "Wendingus", her gloomy yet comedic stories about the gruesome folk horrors surrounding a fictional Appalachian village quickly formed a humble yet loyal fanbase. 

Kel's online work has been narrated on YouTube by voice actors Autumn Ivy, MrCreepypasta, and others. After disappearing from the internet for several years due to severe health complications, she returned in 2023 to completely re-write and re-imagine her previous work in the first of several upcoming novels. Kel's work focuses on themes such as queer identity, grief, mental health, and platonic love.

Today, she lives in Michigan where she works as a graphic designer and neonatal kitten rescuer. She likes to lie face-down on the kitchen floor, perch like a gargoyle, and eat leaves that she finds on the ground.
