T.A. SHELANO

I am an author and podcaster from Birmingham, United Kingdom who released my debut thriller novel The Doctor's Hidden Patients in October 2024. My second novel ESCAPE FROM BATECHU ISLAND was released in November 2025. I have co-hosted The Middle-aged Bodcast with best friend Raging Rich since August 2024.

In 2019, I devised an initial concept for a novel with the working title of Connected. Five years later, that initial concept was released as an 84,000-word thriller novel. I think it's fair to say the pace of the novel is much more dynamic than my development of it. If patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait, maybe 'The Doctor's Hidden Patients' just needed an extra bit of time in the making to be truly complete.

In March 2024, I began drafting a second novel, ESCAPE FROM BATECHU ISLAND which had the working title of BATECHU ISLAND. It has been a challenging but fun experience to write this novel. It serves as a standalone sequel to The Doctor's Hidden Patients and like its predecessor it is a fast-paced and voice-led 85,000 word thriller.

I am now working on a third thriller novel that will serve as a prequel to The Doctor's Hidden Patients and ESCAPE FROM BATECHU ISLAND.
