• More details about Shelly Campbell

  Shelly Campbell

  At a young age, Shelly Campbell wanted to be an air show pilot or a pirate, possibly a dragon and definitely a writer and artist. She’s piloted a Cessna 172 through spins and stalls, and sailed up the east coast on a tall ship barque—mostly without projectile vomiting. In the end, Shelly found writing stories and drawing dragons to be so much easier on the stomach. Shelly's tales are speculative fiction, with a focus on horror, sci-fi and fantasy. She enjoys the challenge of exploring new techniques and subject matter, and strives to embed inspiring stories in her writing and art.
