I was so excited to sit down with Dana Gornall from The Tattooed Buddha and talk about my novel, The Space Between Breaths. We talked about the journey of being traditionally published, how I create deep characters, and the challenges of Buddhist Fiction.

I’m sorry it took me so long, but as you can guess , it is a crazy busy time. The Williamsburg launch was so amazing! Really, the kind of thing authors dream about while waiting for that first acceptance letter to come.
I was so lucky to meet amazing people, have fun book conversations, reconnect with friends I hadn’t seen since I moved my office from Williamsburg and spend time with my adopted Sis and Mom (they adopted me as a “honorary family member”). The food was incredible and I would recommend Thai Tara to anyone.
Here’s some pic of the fun. I am just starting to set up more signings and I’ll be letting you know about those soon!
I am so excited to announce I will be doing an interview with the always awesome Susan Piver and her sangha April 8th at 6:PM EST.
What an amazing event!!!
I want to thank everyone who attended or sent good wishes to my Richmond book launch! It was so much fun to see and share the moment with all of you.
Thank you to Katherine Watson and the folks at Office Alternatives who catered the event, provided the space, and filled the place with posters and balloons as well as gave me the memento of a lifetime.

I received my first review of The Space Between Breaths from Readers’ Favorite. Elated!
“The Space Between Breaths by Kellie Schorr is a compelling literary novel that follows Dr. Lylarose Gentry, a Buddhist teacher whose life becomes intertwined with a complex murder mystery involving her wife’s killer. As her devoted students embark on a quest for truth, the narrative delves deep into questions of redemption, guilt, and the nature of truth itself. The story masterfully weaves together elements of spiritual philosophy with a gripping mystery, creating a unique exploration of how trauma and healing intersect in unexpected ways. Through Dr. Gentry’s journey, readers are invited to contemplate the delicate balance between justice and forgiveness, all while navigating the turbulent waters of grief and loss.
Author Kellie Schorr’s multilayered narrative is one that fans of literary fiction are certain to devour. The prose flows with a lyrical quality that creates an atmosphere of contemplative suspense throughout the book. I was particularly moved by the psychological complexity of the mystery, leading readers through intricate paths of moral ambiguity and human nature. The philosophical elements woven through Dr. Gentry’s teachings bring a profound new layer to the story that makes readers pause and think about the exploration of trauma and forgiveness. The book also avoids any heavy-handed messaging as readers see everything naturally in Gentry’s dialogue and reactions to situations. The narrative gracefully balances moments of intense emotion with quieter instances of reflection, allowing readers to fully absorb the weight of each revelation before the next twist. The characters’ struggles with love, loss, and justice also resonate on both personal and universal levels. I appreciated the authentic approach to having a diverse and realistic protagonist who is never gimmicky. Overall, I highly recommend The Space Between Breaths to readers who appreciate thoughtful literary fiction that challenges them to examine their understanding of forgiveness and truth.”
