Elliott Kay is a self-published author from Seattle, Washington. He grew up in Los Angeles, served in the U.S. Coast Guard, and holds a bachelor’s degree in history. He published his first novel, Good Intentions, in 2011 and has since built a loyal following in the indie fiction community.
His two flagship series cover very different ground. Good Intentions is an urban fantasy set in Seattle about a college student who accidentally binds himself to both a succubus and an angel, mixing comedy, action, and romance in equal measure. Poor Man’s Fight takes place in a far-future setting where a young man named Tanner Malone joins the navy after an exam saddles him with crushing education debt, and the series follows his military career through conflicts with space pirates, corrupt corporations, and brewing civil unrest.
Kay has also written the Wandering Monsters duology, a fantasy adventure told from the perspective of dungeon monsters on the run, and several standalone novels and short story collections that range from superhero fiction to urban fantasy spinoffs. He has published twenty books across four series between 2011 and 2025.
