Hanging out in Portland, Maine with my hubby, Craig. We love our home state, and fall is the best season to be here!
I’m getting ready to publish a novella in my Olivia Lively series. These are female sleuth mystery novels set in Portland and nearby towns. #mysterybooks #portlandmaine

Hi! I’m Shelley. I’m a writer of women’s fiction and mystery. I’ve had two chick lit/mystery novels published by a small traditional press. I love everything books & reading & journals & coffee. I like classical music & jazz. I’m into cozy interiors and knitting and charcuterie boards and soup.

I make collages for my journal covers (spiral, college-ruled notebooks.) This new one highlights adventure, travel, butterflies (and caftans & sunglasses and sending postcards & letters). There’s a nod to my writing life, too.
Happy New Year 2025!

Joy! Finished decorating the gingerbread cookies. Making handmade things and experimenting with home cooking, among other things, feels like being HUMAN, i.e. not hooked into the machine. #beinghuman #joy #handmade

IMAGINE: What if instead of planned obsolescence, we built things to last?
This is a vintage lamp that belonged to my grandmother. It must be 1950s, maybe earlier? It still works. Original wiring. Only lightbulb changes.
Think of how much less trash we’d put into the environment!

IMAGINE: Imagine a world where art and awe, not war and fear, inspire our greatest emotion and creativity. Imagine competing with canvas, not missiles; words, not warheads. Imagine collaborations and everyone working together for humanity and all of nature. #peace #art #natureandart #creativity
