Shirley Lee Baldwin has enjoyed writing plays, poems, and short stories since the fourth grade as encouraged by a kind and supportive teacher, Mrs. Scott of Burnley-Moran Elementary School. After a few short decades and the opportunity to self-publish, Shirley is excited to share with readers the whispers and giggles of her muses whose adventures fill the pages of her middle-grade series Feathers, Treasures & Sandy Paws—stories for the young and young at heart, ages 9 to 99.
Shirley has recently returned to Virginia after living overseas for twenty years. Why? Because there's simply no place like home. Almost heaven, just Virginia. She lives in the foothills of the ancient and mystical Blue Ridge Mountains.
If you’ve ever discovered something with the help of your best friends, wondered what your pet was thinking, or had a dream you weren’t sure was real or not, her latest book series is for you.
