Adventure had found her. From that moment on, she was determined to be at the heart of the action even if that meant making the action come to her.
She could tell you tales of rusty nails, rotten tomato fights, driving a car upside-down and free McDonald's food due to a very realistic, but not-so-bona-fied-stab-wound. All true.
Somehow she still managed getting good grades.
At the age of eighteen she was married. Just before she turned twenty-one her son came along. Six weeks later she finished her degree in English and theater education at Brigham Young University. The closet troublemaker became a high school teacher.
Decades later, she's still married to the same wonderful man. In addition to her amazing son, she has two incredible daughters. All three have flown the coop and are off on their own.
Shela now hails from Katy, Texas and writes young adult fiction for fun - because who doesn't want to live yet another wild adventure? Words are her Legos and she's been playing. Aside from voraciously writing and reading, she enjoys lounging in the pool and late night runs with her husband to DQ. Send her a note at ssburdge@msn.com.view less
