Kelly Stadler spent decades as an executive in the real estate and technology industries before returning to her deepest calling: motherhood. As a mother of four, she was inspired to write London Life Is Falling Down after witnessing the modern challenges children face in finding their footing and the critical role friendship plays in shaping who they become.

Kelly writes the sophisticated, value-driven stories she wants her own children to discover — books that offer a mirror to their struggles and a compass for their character. She lives with her family in North Texas but is always looking for an excuse to hop across the pond for another tea-filled trip to London.
