The Middle Place has been on the New York Times Bestseller list for four weeks. The Middle Place is still holding on, 5 months and counting, to the Bay Area Bestseller List as well as the Little Rock Arkansas Bestseller list [thanks to Edward and his family].

Circus of Cancer just crossed the 250,000 mark. Over a quarter of a million people have used the site to learn how to help a friend with cancer.

SF Chronicle Reviews The Middle Place "Rarely has someone described the infinite small moments of parenting so imaginatively yet so precisely...so, come for the writing, stay for the life-and-death drama. Or vice versa. Either way, you won't regret it." Regan McMahon, SF Chronicle Deputy Book Editor

Kelly has essays in recent issues of Glamour and Good Housekeeping and the May issue of O, The Oprah Winfrey Magazine.

The Middle Place has been chosen as a Booksense pick for January 2008. Booksense is the largest association of independent booksellers in the US.

The Middle Place was profiled in O, The Oprah Winfrey Magazine's January issue. The Middle Place was also recommended by Glamour , Family Circle, People, Blueprint, Good Housekeeping and ELLE Magazine.
