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.
Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.
