Shelley Thrasher, world traveler and native East Texan, has edited novels for Bold Strokes Books since 2004. With her PhD in English, she taught on the college level for many years before she retired early, and still teaches one fine-arts course online. She has published numerous poems and several short stories and essays, as well as one scholarly book. Shelley and her partner Connie, with their two dogs, cat, and parrot, live near Dallas in the piney woods of East Texas, where her first novel, The Storm, is set.
Thrasher's unique and exquisite take on romance in a small town
offers a new and welcome perspective on mature relationships....The
focus on the empowerment of older women serves to underscore both
the charm of life at a slower pace and the sweetness of new
relationships. Readers will find it deeply refreshing to see female
characters who are defined as much by their kindness and grace as
by their chosen roles in life. --Publishers Weekly, 7/6/2015
