After earning a master’s in marketing and working as an executive in Corporate America, Shelli traded out her heels and suits for flip-flops and jeans so she could follow her passion for writing.

Her books have been translated into 15 languages, and both THE BODY FINDER and THE PLEDGE were YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selections.

She lives in the Pacific Northwest, which give her endless rainy days to spend indoors writing. She also spends entirely too much time ordering stuff off the Internet and binge-watching Netflix with her husband and kids.
