From Lockdown to Love Triangles

Sheila came back to writing the way many people did—trapped in her house during lockdown and desperate for dissociation and joy.

She always loved writing. As a kid, she filled notebooks with short stories and book ideas. She even wrote Goosebumps fanfic before fanfic was cool. In college, she took all writing electives, because a communication degree didn’t have enough of a writing workload for her (extreme sarcasm).

But The Lost God was the first time she sat down to see if she could write something longer form. She channeled all her anxiety into the book and wrote until she ran out of story. That took four books.

She writes emotional character-driven stories about the joys and heartbreaks of love, the losses and triumphs of claiming agency, and the angst and healing of evolution. At the heart of all of her stories, you’ll find flawed, vulnerable characters who feel deeply human and magic that feels stitched from the threads of the real world.

When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up with a good book, reading tarot, or having a cocktail with friends. Sheila lives outside Philadelphia with a gaggle of sporadically-watered houseplants that survive out of spite.
