Shelby Oval is the award winning author of Out of Embers and Shadows, book one in the Shadowfire series. Her second book, Into Flames and Shadows releases on Amazon on the 8th of January.

While Oval is a teacher by day, she is fighting wars, falling in love, and building worlds by night as she furthers her Shadowfire adventures. She loves to read fantasy and explore the different worlds other authors have created which is why she got a master’s in literature from the University of Glasgow - it was all for the books!

If you can’t find her reading or teaching or writing, then her partner has probably dragged her on another hike up another mountain - which means another book is sure to come soon!

The Shadowfire series is just one of many projects she is working on so there are plenty more opportunities to read her works. So whether you enjoy hiking or not - let’s all hope Shelby Oval’s partner keeps dragging her on outdoor adventures!
