About Me
My name is Shelbey Kendall.
I've been a storyteller for decades and intrigued with words since I could sound them out.
Somewhere along the way, my love for words turned into a love for creating characters with big personalities, complicated feelings, and stories worth telling.
I write romance with no swearing or spice, but plenty of heart, humor, and swoon-worthy moments. I love a good happily ever after, especially when the road to get there is full of witty banter, imperfect people, and the kind of love that sees someone for who they really are.
I'm also the author of The Sonshine Sister Club, a Christian middle-grade series filled with relatable characters, a little chaos, and plenty of laughter. My hope is to encourage young readers to put their hearts and minds before their messes and remember that no mistake is ever too big for Jesus.
Beyond the pages, I'm a wife and mom to three incredible kids who are a big part of why I write. More than anything, I want to leave behind a legacy of books that my children and someday my grandchildren can pull from a shelf and find little pieces of me tucked inside. My faith, my humor, little bits of wisdom, and the pieces of my heart I hope will live on long after I'm gone.
But I hope those stories reach far beyond my own family, finding their way into the hands of readers looking for a good laugh, a little encouragement, and characters who feel like old friends.
Because I believe the best stories stay with us long after we've turned the last page.
