She tells herself this is a dream come true to be able to walk on the sand and smell the glorious salt sea air. The ocean inspires Shelley, and while walking she delves into multiple story ideas. Pursuing her writing ambitions is like starting an encore career, according to Shelley, having started later rather than sooner in life. Before becoming an almost full-time writer, she pretended to be a normal adult by holding down jobs that included bank teller, airline reservationist, retail sales, and owner of a successful event planning company. Since doing so, she has co-written the children's books The SockKids Say No to Bullying and The SockKids Stop a Bully, stories inspired by her own experiences dealing with a bully and her desire to help others learn how to overcome the trauma. She also co-authored Nick Knitley and The SockKids, which offers another life lesson with the help of the talking socks. Shelley's most recent accomplishment is the award-winning The Lizard Who Loves a Blizzard that tells the tale of an adorable lizard from Down Under who dreams of snow on Christmas Day. Mom's Choice Awards honored the book for excellence. And now, Shelley introduces her first solo endeavor, an engaging new adventure, Princess Investigators: The Case of the Missing Crown, that follows sisters Eva and Lucy and their insatiable curiosity to solve mysteries. view less
