Nice to Meet You!
I’m Shelley Burbank, an eclectic writer of fiction and nonfiction. Whether penning a true-life profile for a newspaper or journal or dreaming up a flash fiction or novel, I want to share stories about creative and talented people who are pursuing their goals: artists, craftspeople, entrepreneurs, designers, thought-leaders, influencers, teachers, scholars, and healers.
We ALL have within us a talent or beauty or insight or story–something that adds to this world. My job is to discover these stories, polish them up a little, and present them to my readers in hopes they will find inspiration in them.
Reading is my great pleasure. Authors are my heroes. Journal-writing is my therapy. Libraries are my cathedrals.
And coffee is the reason I get up in the morning.
Sincerely,
Shelley
Happiness: Books to read, coffee to drink, stories to write.
