About

Shelby Walton

Shelby Walton writes whimsical, character-driven fantasy books for all ages. She wrote her first novel in fourth grade, and meticulously backed it up on a floppy disc (dear children, floppy discs are considered relics now). It was an adventure story about a pack of talking wolves and she dreamed of seeing it on a bookstore shelf.

Shelby's middle grade fantasy THE HEART BLOOM PATH was selected for Author Mentor Match Round 8. Shelby is represented by agent-extraordinaire Bethany Fulk of Spencerhill Associates.

When she isn't writing, Shelby is most often adventuring outside, marveling at God's gorgeous creation. She seriously considered using Shelby Puppypetter as a pen name which probably tells you more about her than this entire bio.
