Shelley lives in southern Ohio along with her husband, a couple of teenage children and a couple of pet dogs. The normal daily routines of Shelly are filled with the activities of a normal housewife and mother. She has said in her interviews that she finds it very difficult to find time from her busy activities to write novels, but somehow manages to do so and writes interesting novels for her fans. After her kids go to school each morning, she sits on her desk and begins to dream about other places by looking out of her window. She spends many hours in trying to build stories around people and places and drinks too many cups of coffee in the process. Shelly says that it had always been her dream to write novels for the Avon Inspire and considers herself very fortunate to have succeeded in doing so. She says that by spending time in trying to write stories about the Amish people, she has become very well aware of the Amish culture and still enjoys knowing more about it. Shelley Shepard Grey believes that by giving each character’s progression in her novels, she had drawn her closer to the Lord.
