About the author

Hello Friends, my real name is Schelli Rothi. The very first book I wrote was my memoir, "If The Shoe Fits" and that was many moons ago. Honestly I have never considered myself a writer, despite being a creative. My memoir was written for my own healing. My latest book, which is Fiction inspired by actual events, "I will never know", was written to bring awareness to what my husband and I endured, and since I am outspoken and a judge shut down my freedom of speech I took to the computer and told my story. Because of the nature of the story I changed my author name to Maria Roti. Maria being my middle name and Roti is my Norwegian last name. I am a free spirit, always have been. If you enjoy books that don't drag on forever then you will enjoy reading my work. Who I have been is not nearly as important as to who I have become.
