Shelley Masini

Shelley Masini has a Masters Degree in Creative Writing from Sonoma State University and has worked as a freelance writer since 2019, covering topics from travel to photography, pet care to pediatrics.
She is currently working on a mystery novel that features a stray Arizona bounty hunter struggling to rebuild her life amidst London’s high society and from her estranged mother’s posh Kensington flat, while unexpectedly confronted by the insidious criminals and crimes that plague London’s most exclusive addresses and prominent families.
Shelley lives in Northern California with her husband and a rescue cat named Ida. She collects owls, feeds the neighborhood crows, makes a formidable G&T, and likes hiking. She’s also a card carrying Anglophile (if you count her Bodliean Library card) and makes an annual trip to England.
