Shelley spent her early years living abroad which resulted in a love of philosophy as well as a big imagination. The joy of creating plots in her mind started early along with her love of nature.
An intermediate photographer and avid walker, Shelley exercises her mind with writing, her heart with pictures, and her body with the tread of her sneakers.
A late bloomer, she returned to school to earn a BA in English that has been since deemed her "First Born." Through her years of study she gained a deep appreciation for the writing process, able to view the page as an author, editor and reader. From classic literature to contemporary romance, she loves getting lost in a good story.
Shelley is a member of the Romance Writers of America as well as her RWA state chapter of the Maryland Romance Writers.
