Shelley Beers is a public school educator and a partner with her husband in pastoral ministry. She considers imagination to be a God-given gift and uses hers to create riveting plots and unpredictable characters who intrigue and inspire.

As a teacher and director, she enjoys leading both her students and parishioners to discover, develop, and gain confidence in using their creative abilities. Shelley’s motto is, “we have one life and one chance to live it.” She lives hers to make a positive difference in and an impact on the lives of others.

When she isn’t teaching, directing a musical, planning an event, or speaking, she makes time for adventure. She enjoys kayaking, hiking, traveling, gardening, reading, and writing while surrounded by the beauty of her home in the Ozarks. Her greatest treasures are her beautiful family and the time they spend together.
