Shelby Haisley is an independent mystery author from small town Indiana. She has enjoyed psychological thrillers and espionage stories, such as Mission: Impossible and The Bourne Identity, and wanted to write one of her own. Shelby combined her passionate love of writing and vivid imagination to create an original story of danger, deceit, and adventure. She decided it was time for a female heroine to step into the action scene, thus August Havens was born and her story began. Shelby has self-published three books in her original series, The August Havens Chronicles: Wanted (2014), Twisted (2015), and Crossed (2017). She is currently writing the fourth and final novel, Shattered, which is due to release in 2020.
