Critics Review
“Reading Hydra in Winter is like drinking a bottomless glass of champagne; bubbly, refreshing, and bound to make you laugh.”
-Kyra Geddes, The Story ThiefAbout The Author
Shelley Dark
Shelley spent a lifetime raising cattle on Queensland’s Granite Belt before trading the bush for the beach on the Sunshine Coast with her husband. When she’s not writing novels, traveling, or capturing the world through her iPhone lens, she’s marveling at her clever grandchildren—or hunting for the perfect cream bun.
A proud member of the ALLWRiTE Club, Shelley finds inspiration among a writers’ group as colorful as the characters in her books. Her next novel, Son of Hydra, is set for release in 2025, followed by Daughter of Cork, the story of a pirate’s wife. Whether on the page or in life, Shelley’s adventures are just beginning.
