Shelley is a master writer at creating drama centred around complex female protagonists. She is fearless with her black comedic voice but at the same time manages to make all her characters completely relatable and compelling. Shelley has an original series in development with SunnyMarch inspired by unique personal experience and two international thrillers with Origin Pictures and Objective Fiction inspired by intensive research.
