I've been writing about romance since I first read Cinderella, which is probably why my books are fun urban fantasy romance with a touch of magic, lots of humor, and a dab of geek. I invite you to join me in the quirky, paranormal town of Beckwell where you'll meet animals who sometimes talk, seniors causing mayhem, and real magic found in hope, love, and belonging.

When I'm not writing, you can find me wrangling a very patient husband, two daughters, and a small herd of cats. Find out more over at: www.shellychalmers.com

This little group of men were so lovely... and absolutely hilarious! They were equally committed to serving their community with pancake lunches and kids' activities... and needling each other. I HAD to recreate that kind of dynamic in a book... and make it clear that just because they were old in years, they were definitely young and vibrant at heart. (less)

March Magic

We've reached mid-March, which means the hope for spring is in the air...or at least the allergens that the crazy wind keeps blowing around. ;) I hope you've been finding ways to keep on keeping on, along with holding onto the joy wherever you can.

One of the ways that I find joy - and the magic I wanted to share this month - is in my craft room. Specifically with my miniatures. I love miniatures

Unexpected, poignant, and redemptive

I started this book on something of a whim, but found myself enthralled with the lush writing and deeply emotional turns of the plot and characterization. Highly recommend!
