Elysium by Kelsee: Savor the Art of Life


I create stories, art, and print club letters rooted in imagination; blending writing, visual storytelling, and inspired moments to connect creativity with the world beyond the page.

I will now be taking bakery orders by email or direct message only. Let's connect today!

Whispers of Shadow and Flame

Light and darkness wage war-not only in the heavens, but inside Nalika herself.

The gods won't leave her mind. Their voices twist through her thoughts, pulling her between mercy and vengeance, courage and despair. Each battle she fights is not just against Hades and the monsters he commands, but against the chaos rising within her soul.

When betrayal shatters the trust of her closest friend, Nalika is forced to question everything: who she can trust, what she is willing to sacrifice, and whether she can resist the shadows clawing at her heart.

As war erupts, Nalika must confront the gods themselves-because in a game of immortals, one mortal choice will tip the scales between salvation and ruin.

To The 9s Mail Club

A break from the bills always coming in, designed to be opened slowly.

Each month you’ll receive: a 5 x 7 art print, a letter from the perspective of a character from my fantasy novel that shares the story behind the piece and some insight into the characters, a recipe card, and a surprise item chosen to match the month’s theme. Every detail is curated with intention, inspired by quiet moments, simple rituals, and the beauty of everyday comforts.

No two months are the same, but each one is thoughtful, personal, and made with care.

Kelsee Sharp

Writer & Editor

Kelsee is a fantasy author whose work is rooted in atmosphere, emotion, and immersive worldbuilding. Her debut novel invites readers into a richly imagined world shaped by quiet tension, elemental forces, and characters driven by longing, power, and choice.

Writing and art have always been at the center of Kelsee’s creative life. As an author, she is drawn to settings that feel alive — places that hold history, mystery, and meaning —this passion for place deeply influences her writing and art pieces. Kelsee believes in slowing down, cherishing details, and appreciating small moments; which has led to a creative business rooted in helping other authors, curating cozy art for To The 9's, and writing/advertising her own novels (a dream come true)!
