Meet The Author(s)
Shelby Lynne Paul & Simon Paul
I have always had a passion for illustrating ever since I can remember. One of my favorite Christmas memories was when I was about 8 years old and I received a complete art kit and professional looking sketch pad. The kit was filled with chalks, coals, paints, pencils and things that I didn't even know what to do with. It came in a wooden case with little latches and I carried it around with me almost everywhere. I believe this is when my serious drawing phase was inspired.
As time went on and I became a mother of three, my children inspired me to pick up a pencil and begin writing children's stories. It's true...kids say the darnedest things. However, like most parents, personal time is restricted and desires are set aside. Many years and seven children later, I am still inspired to write and illustrate in whatever spare time I have.
In 2011, I met my husband Simon, and found that we shared a common interest of developing children's stories. As a child, I enjoyed illustrating and did not venture into writing until adulthood. Yet, Simon began his writing journey as a child. He wrote a collection of children's books and kept them safe throughout the years. Together, we have published a children's book series called Dreamtime Tales.
Children's books aren't the only thing I desire to write. Over the years, I have put my pen to good use as I gathered amazing DIY projects, some words for the wise and some tasty treats that everyone can enjoy. Thus, dreams may get set aside but they will always be right here for you to pick them back up!
