Freda Kalina is a multi-passionate storyteller, real estate expert, and community leader who brings heart, humor, and a touch of mystery to everything she does. With over 30 years in the real estate world and a natural flair for planning unforgettable events, Freda’s unexpected turn into authorship began with a deeply personal memoir, Why I Live with a Felon — a heartfelt story about love, loss, and the rescue dog that changed her life.
Inspired by that experience, she created a beloved cozy mystery series featuring Amy, a real estate agent-turned-sleuth, and Felon, her loyal (and nosy) pit bull sidekick. From beachside whodunits to cruise ship crimes, Freda's stories are packed with charm, suspense, and just enough sass to keep readers hooked.
When she’s not plotting her next fictional murder, Freda is teaching others how to profit from their passions. Her latest nonfiction release, Triple Your Income with Events, reveals the strategies she’s used to turn festivals, vendor shows, and community gatherings into major business wins — and how others can do the same.
A proud mom of three grown sons, grandma of two, and president of the Buford Business Alliance, Freda lives in Georgia with her two orange tabby cats and enough real-life inspiration to keep the stories coming.
