Teacher-turned-author Kelly Walker Edwards is putting her hometown of Asbury Park at the center of her latest work.
Edwards has spent the past seven years writing poems and short stories. Her sixth book, "Narrative Nips: Volume 6," features stories inspired by growing up on Asbury Park’s West Side.
With her motto, “Stories matter,” she celebrates the people, memories and experiences that shaped her and her Jersey pride.
The book is now available on Amazon.
Edwards can often be found at book events throughout New Jersey.
