Sheila Kilpatrick

Recipient of recognitions from Mom's Choice,The Dove Foundation and Writers Digest, author Sheila Kilpatrick wrote the Anastasia Pickering series for everyone who has faced a rainy day. She believes perplexing or difficult situations can present us with colorful answers if we listen to our inner (fairy) voices.

Sheila, a breast cancer survivor has faced her own rain with the help of loyal friends and family. Her niece and nephew's magical points of view helped her see reflective healing colors in the quiet of the rain. She hopes "Anastasia's Rain" will open young minds to a different perspective as they face the showers and downpours of their own lives.

Sheila received an Associates degree in photography/graphic design from Tidewater Community College in Virginia Beach,Virginia and a Batchelor of Science degree in art education from East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C.

"Anastasia's Rain," published by Morgan James Publishing is her first children's book and focuses on the lesson of patience. You can find Sheila in Virginia Beach, Va. She will be writing stories, riding her horse, cooking or playing with her canine friends.
