About
Shelly Meyer has been in love with writing since she first picked up a pen and paper. At an early age, she began writing poetry and short stories and was constantly scribbling notes and ideas at every opportunity. She still has dozens of unfinished stories in boxes that she says she will one day "get to.". In high school, Shelly found a deep passion for teen romance novels, then moved on to adult romance. Later, she branched out into different genres with mysteries and thrillers.
In 2005, she wrote ‘Deadly Healer’ and has modernized the story and re-published it. Her true passion, however, has always been romance, so in 2008, she began writing ‘The Letter’. In December 2011, she completed it and started looking for a literary agent. Shelly is turning ‘The Letter’ into a three-part series. She is also working on a thriller novel about the Illuminati.
Shelly lives in an upper middle-class neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, near her family. She is also a member of the Author’s Guild, the National Association of Independent Writers & Editors, and the Association of Writers and Writing Programs.
