Shelli Marie

Shelli Marie was born and raised in an urban neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. This is where she began reading street literature, mainly because she could relate to it. In 2001, she moved to Arizona, where she currently resides. She writes, edits, and publishes full-time. 2012 is when Shelli Marie began to take time out to write, something she hadn't done since she was a youth. Although it was a great challenge for her, she was anxious to chase her dreams. When she pens her novels, she takes portions of her life and the lives of her closest friends, combines them, and adds her special touch to create exceptional stories.
