ABOUT ME

As a young, vivacious reader, Shelly spent most of her time, either in the restricted reading section of the library, or scribbling away in journals. 

 

Shelly’s first novel A Light into the Darkness earned a Puddly Award in 2013 and in 2015 was nominated for Family Fiction's top ten books.  In 2016, she completed and published her third novel in the Twisted Roots series and started teaching creative writing classes at High Country Home Educators. 

 

Current project she is working on is an apocalyptic romance which can only be described as a cross between Left Behind and Mad Max Beyond Thunder-dome.
