Hey guys! I'm Shelly. Writing has been my passion ever since I won a Young Author's award when I was 10 years old, and I've been writing ever since. I've always been a hopeless romantic and I write the kind of stories I would want to read as a reader. I'm a sucker for happy endings. I hope to be published and have a movie made from my work one day. That's the dream.
Here's a bit about me and yes, this is all true. 🙂
I was the shy, quiet girl in high school that had glasses, braces and was invisible, the smart, artistic type with social anxiety. Sophomore year I got contacts, got my braces off, highlighted my long, brown hair blonde and grew to 5'10. That year I also met my now husband. He transferred to our Indiana school from Texas and he was the star basketball player. He sat by me in Study Hall and wanted to talk and I just wanted to get my homework done. We didn't like each other at all. He thought I was a nerd and I thought he was annoying.
I went off to college and finally came out of my shell, made a lot of good friends and had the time of my life. The hottest guy in school/captain of the soccer team asked me out. On our date I was so shy and awkward. I didn't catch onto his hints that he liked me. I was totally clueless and still had low self-esteem. After two years of college I moved back home and started working at a dentist office. Around this time I started doing bridal fashion shows and that led to me getting 2nd place in a state beauty pageant.
After that I started dating a 6'7 police officer that was a former All-American football player and baseball player. Well he dumped me on Valentine's Day by text message and I was so broken-hearted. A week later I went to a friend's party to wallow in self pity and ran into the guy from high school that was the basketball star that I had thought was annoying. We ended up talking for hours that night, fell in love, got married 8 months later and now we have two kids. ♥
