Shelbey Kendall writes heartwarming, hope-filled fiction for readers of all ages. As the author of The Sonshine Sister Club series, she blends faith, family, friendship, and a touch of humor to encourage young readers that no mess or mistake is too big for Jesus. In addition to middle grade fiction, Shelbey also writes clean, closed-door romance filled with real emotion, redemptive arcs, and characters you’ll root for. Whether she’s crafting stories for kids or grown-ups, her mission is the same: to offer light in the darkness and remind readers that grace is always within reach.

When she’s not writing, you’ll likely find her sipping coffee, listening to country music or Andy Grammer, or spending time with her family. She lives in small-town Kansas and is always dreaming up her next story.
