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.

Madness of People by Shelly   Campbell
I missed this question until now. Apologies for the late response. My publisher currently has a hold on audiobook production so unfortunately there isn’t plans to produce an audiobook for Madness of People in the near future. Sorry about that! I’ll l See Full Answer

“You don’t have the balls for it. First gun in your face, you pissed your pants. That’s what happens when you try to be part of something bigger, David.”
Shelly Campbell, Gulf

“You were loud, David, really loud. Something will come for you now, hungry like a magpie, ready to hollow out all your soft parts. And you can’t stop it.”
Shelly Campbell, Gulf

“This is a city afraid of the dark. This is a place that banishes shadows because it knows that what likes to hide there is not the stuff of childhood nightmares but something tangible that’s coming for them.”
Shelly Campbell, Breach
