Shelly asked Shayne Parkinson:

How old were you when you wrote your 1st story? I just wanted to say that you were like an undiscovered gem to me when I happened to read one of your books. I was hooked! Please keep writing, as I am an avid reader, and so often I am disappointed by other authors' mediocre work. Your creations are a refreshing change. Thanks, Shelly in WV, USA

Shayne Parkinson Hi Shelly,

Thanks so much! It's lovely to hear that.

I wrote my first story ever when I was at primary school, but as far as I recall I was in my 30s when I began "Sentence of Marriage" - which is a fair few years ago now :) The books went through a lot of reworking after that, before I felt able to share them with the world.
