SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
AUTHOR'S ALLEY
Each summer and fall, downtown Brighton’s Hyne Alley transforms into a vibrant outdoor marketplace for book lovers and writers alike. Hosted by 2 Dandelions Bookshop, Author’s Alley celebrates Michigan’s rich literary talent by bringing together local and self‑published authors to share their stories, sign books, and connect directly with readers.
Set against the lively backdrop of Brighton’s Saturday Farmers’ Market, this free, family‑friendly event invites visitors to browse a diverse selection of genres—from fiction and poetry to memoir, children’s books, and beyond. Authors set up along the charming brick walkway between Oh My Lolli and Brighton Bar & Grill, turning the alley into an open‑air bookstore where conversations and creativity flow.
For participating authors, Author’s Alley offers a unique opportunity to showcase work, meet fans, and be part of a thriving literary community. Whether you’re discovering a new favorite book or getting a signed copy from a Michigan author, Author’s Alley is all about celebrating stories and the people who tell them.

APRICITY PODCAST
From Meghan Stimmel, Host of Apricity Podcast:
“I never dreamed that 'my little podcast project' would be such a stepping stone for women to share their story and their voice.
A platform that leads you into further purpose.
Nicole Kelly is a ray of beautiful light. I am honored to know her. And I was so blessed to have this conversation with her.
Nicole is a true example of someone who isn't letting anything stop her from stepping into what God has called her to do. She wakes up at 4am every morning to write. To reflect and give herself space to let her soul sing. To become familiar with herself and the path she has walked so she can better help others.
SHE WROTE A BOOK! And she is just getting started. Nicole uses her voice to speak and change the world. She is brave, courageous, smart, beautiful and knows that her story is meant to be a guidebook to others who are currently stuck where she has already broken free.
I love you Nicole! Thank you for sharing your afternoon with me. Thank you for sharing your voice with me. Thank you for sharing your story with me and with the world.
Nicole Kelly is a first-time author with a passion for helping others unlock their full potential. After years of battling self-doubt and searching for her purpose, she was inspired to write “Losing a Friendship, Finding Myself” to share the tools and insights that have transformed her own life. She offers a fresh perspective on building self-confidence and overcoming limiting beliefs, empowering readers to create a life they truly love. When not writing, Nicole enjoys spending time with her family and their dog Rocky. Connect with Nicole at nicolekellyinc.com or on instagram @nicoletkelly
