Her latest novel, A Daughter's Choice, debuted in November 2025. She is a two-time winner of Selah Awards and Readers Choice Awards.

Her most recent forays into this genre include Trust Me, Her Every Move and Closer Than She Knows, all set in San Antonio and South Texas. Publishers Weekly says of Closer Than She Knows, "this brisk, smoothly written thriller from Irvin pits court reporter Teagan O’Rourke, a murder mystery lover, against a cunning and vicious serial killer. Fans of serial killer fiction with a Christian slant will be satisfied." Of Tell Her No Lies, The Library Journal says, "Irvin creates a complex web with enough twists and turns to keep even the most savvy romantic suspense readers guessing until the end. Known for her Amish novels, this two-time Carol Award finalist shows that her talents span subgenres from tranquil Amish stories to rapidly paced breathless suspense.” The Kansas native is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers,, Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, Texas League of Writers, and Women's Fiction Writers Association.

She studied for three semesters at the University of Costa Rica, learning the Spanish language. As a journalist, she worked six years in the border towns of Laredo and El Paso, where she was exposed to culture and language that serves as fodder for her fiction writing. Kelly retired in 2016 from her position of 22 years as public relations manager for the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department. She writes full-time. She and her husband live in Texas. They have two children and four grandchildren. In her spare time, she likes to write short stories and poetry, read books by her favorite authors, and visit the babies.
