Autorenporträt

Shelby Matheson is a born-and-raised Australian, currently residing in the quiet, beachside town of Hervey Bay, Queensland. She has a Bachelor in journalism and creative writing, and a graduate diploma in editing and publishing from USQ. She has been writing full-length novels since she was fourteen and has always known that being an author is the only career for her. In her spare time, she enjoys video games, drawing, crochet, collecting books (and even reading them), but her greatest passion will always be writing and escaping to the worlds in her head.  Her debut novel, Elsewhere, was inspired by the sense of wonder and awe of classic children’s novels such as Narnia, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Secret Garden, and more. Elsewhere pays tribute to these classics through Easter eggs and similar tropes. The series stays true to the timeline and facts of World War I, exploring the horrors of the time through the eyes of a child, creating a symbolic parallel between the pains of adolescence and the extreme changes that the world went through during the war.
