Hello, I'm Shelley, an English multi-genre author and writing mentor. I've written young adult/middle-grade supernatural and fantasy fiction, motivational adult self-help, children's meditation titles, planners, and romance. My debut romance was a finalist in the RNA Awards 2025. I'm a proud single mum of three and live in the West Midlands, UK. I love travelling in my VW camper, reading about Tudor and Viking history, and obsessing over to-do lists!
