About the author
Jamie Sheffield
21 books43 followersNEWS: Jamie won the 2014 Adirondack Literary Award for Best Novel of 2013 with "Here Be Monsters"!
Jamie Sheffield lives with his wife, son, two dogs, and seven tortoises in a pretty spot in the woods of New Hampshire, writing about the people and places and things that poke him in the brain. When he's not writing, he's probably camping or exploring wild places all over the Northeast.
Besides writing, Jamie loves cooking and reading and dogs and numerous outdoor pursuits that his friends and family classify variously as dangerous, foolish, nerdy, stupid, and likely to get the attention of Homeland Security.
He worked as a Special Education teacher in the Lake Placid Central School District for nearly 20 years before deciding to try his hand at writing just about full-time (he still works with students some of the time).
Here Be Monsters was his debut novel, in 2013. In the years since this best-selling and award-winning novel was published, he's published four more books in that series as well as numerous other books in print and ebook formats.
Most recently, Jamie published a pair of collections of short fiction and, in July of 2021, his first children's book, Chili, the Grumpy Tortoise.
