Welcome to my porch.

I’m Kieran, and I write heart-first novels set in the Lowcountry, where I grew up on the water—crabbing and shrimping from our dock, riding in boats, and body surfing at the beach. I also spent hours climbing live oaks and settling into the crooks of their mossy branches, daydreams swirling in my head.

I write because I want women to feel seen.

Not just in the hard moments—but in the quiet ones, the joyful ones, the ones where you’re holding it all together when no one’s looking. If you recognize a piece of yourself in my stories, I hope it makes you feel understood—and a little more rooted in your own truth.

I want my books to inspire you to love yourself where you are. And maybe even text your best friend and say, “These books are for us.” Because every woman has a story—a beautiful one of grit and grace, written by her own hand, no matter what the world throws at her—and that’s the kind of beauty I write for. Yours.

Happy reading,

Kieran XO

The Charleston Edit is my curated collection of stories, secrets, and soulful finds from the Lowcountry. Part travel diary, part writer’s notebook, part love letter to Charleston—it’s where I share the small, meaningful details that shape a creative life by the coast.
