Review of Kellcey (5 Stars)

First, of all let me start off by saying this-if this memoir by Ms. Kells does not make you think about our culture today or turn your stomach I wonder if anything will. Ms. Kells, tells a difficult story very well. Very few people I know truly has the courage to tell the rest of the world what happened. Very courageous and very inspiring indeed. I read the entire story in one setting as I do most of the books I read. I cannot tell you how many times I felt bad and wanted to cry based on what I read. One thing I have learned (of many things) in life is that no two people's struggles is exactly the same. Even people who have been sexually assaulted or raped do not go through the exact same process (may be similar but not exactly the same as no two people on earth is). Kellcey is a truly inspirational story which I hope you all read and truly take the time to appreciate. The lessons are many the biggest of which that while males and females are created differently (biologically and psychologically) they are created equally. Not only does Ms. Kells writes about sexual assault and the effect it has on her physically and emotionally but she also in many cases describes situations I have seen far too often, and is unacceptable, and that is the culture of bullying and sexual harassment (often precursors to sexual assault and rape). Sexual assault and rape is not so often about sex but about power and control and the lack of respect for the rights of others which is a very good point of her memoir. Until society starts to truly realize that men and women, while different, are equal it is an unfortunate fact that many more cases like Ms. Kells will continue to exist. Ms. Kells demonstrated true courage when she wrote this memoir and it is my hope that many others read this memoir and learn to look at life just a little differently. Sometimes a little change can mean the biggest different. Outstanding story from start to finish and well written.

Kacey Kells Interview

Orville: Question 1: Tell us about who you are.

Kacey: My name is Kacey Kells. I’m 28. I was born and raised in Vancouver Island, Canada. When I was 17 I was sexually assaulted. Afterwards, I was unable to speak about what had happen to me. I was overwhelmed with shame and fear, like trapped in a bubble. I was later diagnosed with a PTSD. Since my parents divorced, I followed my mom and settled in London UK, where I lived until 2021. After a while, my counselor at the Rape Crisis Centre recommended me to write something about what had happened, saying that this could help like a therapy. At the very beginning, it was very difficult to write anything, but soon it turned to be a pleasant exercise. I was for the first time capable to explain and talk about what had happened to me.

When it was finished, my counselor, and my mom, recommended it should be edited and published, arguing that this could be useful to other victims, and could help other people to better understand the situation and the consequences of a rape. I didn’t want people to know about me because I didn’t want to be known as ‘the girl who has been raped,’ but ultimately, I agreed, and what originally was a personal diary became a book : KELLCEY.

I now live in Paris, where I am a student, and wrote a book on the objectification of women, its consequences and the benefits of women empowerment for modern society:  (His)Story of Women : the Second Sex, published last August 2022.

I wrote this book because I’m particularly sensitive to the cause of women in the defense of their rights. Contrary to KELLCEY, (His)Story of Women, is more academic in nature since it tries to analyze the issue from historical, sociological, anthropological, genetic, and economic perspectives, while remaining a general audience book.

 Orville: How many books do you have published?

Kacey: Two

Orville: Are your books self-published or traditionally published?

Kacey: KELLCEY was first published traditionally, but I was disappointed by the lack of support given by my publisher and when it was time renew the contract, after two years I decided to self publish. It was a good decision because I’m very satisfied, so I also self-published (His)Story of Women.

Orville: Where can the reader find your books?

Kacey: Amazon, worldwide: (His)Story of Women paperback : https://amazon.com/His-Story-Women-Second-Sex/dp/B0BB5QQ987 

His)Story of Women Kindle : https://amazon.com/Kellcey-Kacey-Kells-ebook/dp/B084WRR7FK

 Orville: Are you a plotter or pantser?

Kacey: Yes and no: I didn’t have any self-imposed plan or organization before writing, but I knew perfectly well what I had to say and where I wanted to go.

Orville: What makes your writing unique?

Kacey: Both books are different. KELLCEY, is unique because it’s my story ; but I think (His)Story of Women is unique because it’s both a well-documented analysis and a very personal book, where I put my convictions, and it really reflects my engagement.

Orville: What are your hobbies outside of writing?

Kacey: Reading, dancing, skiing, swimming, daydreaming, cuddling…

Orville: Who was the greatest influence in your writing career?

Kacey: No idea. I read a lot and love so many writers. Jane Austen used to be my favorite writer but I now prefer writers like Natalie Angier (Woman : an intimate geography ), and Mary Beard…

Orville: Do you have a favorite quote?

Kacey: Women’s Rights are Human Rights

Orville: Tell me about your work:

Kacey: I’m currently trying to finish a Ph.D. thesis in Development Studies.

 Orville: What genre do you write?

Kacey: Until now, everything that is about the status of women in society, women empowerment, and human rights.

Orville: Is your work on Kindle Unlimited?

Kacey: Yes, it is.

Orville: Are you currently working on any new WIPs?

Kacey: I just finished my second book. Currently, I’m working on my thesis and I also doing my best to promote my 2 published books.

Orville: Who is your target audience?

Kacey: Anyone, male or female, who is concerned with women and human rights

Orville: What advice would you give a young person planning a writing career?

Kacey: Go on! Make your dreams real. Only you know what should be done and how.
