She resides in Michigan with her Husband and her four daughters and four grandchildren. Her main focus in writing has been focused around the many forms of abuse in our world today. Along with writing she also spends much time researching so that she can provided only the best resources for those in need. Besides her family, writing and reaching out to others has become her passion in life. After personally going through the teenage stages twice Shelley learned just how hard it is for teens to cope and manage every day life. Her new founded interest lead to endless hours of research and going into schools providing her with one on one contact with teens. Shelley used this time to teach about the powerful ways of writing, how to express one's pain or thoughts on paper instead of self harming or the use of drugs. After seeing many postive responces Shelley then created A Haven for Teens. A teen writing section on the Internet, where teens can subit thier writings for possible publication. Not only being heard, they have been given the chance of becoming a writer in the future if desired while providing them with postive goals in thier life. Being a writer, publisher and editor as been rewarding, but being a mentor is more personal and powerful to the heart.
