edit data

S.A. Thorne—also known as Shelly—writes heartfelt rom-coms about women finding their way on the job, in friendship, and in love. A former TV professional turned communications pro, she’s been telling stories professionally for more than 15 years. (Though she’ll readily admit writing fiction beats her day job every single time.)

Shelly is a chronically sleep-deprived mom of two toddlers and is wife to the most patient man alive. When she isn’t glued to her laptop writing, or running after her feral children, she can most likely be found rewatching her comfort shows, reading one of the hundreds of books on her TBR, or… thinking about writing.
