Produktbeschreibung

For as many reasons as there are days in a year... a century... or millennia, some novelists choose to write incognito. By using an alias, pen name; or, as the French so beautifully say, nom de plume, they'll cloak their true identities.

The nom de plume, while convenient, does present a bit of a conundrum for the writer. Whose backstory or biography should an author employ introducing themselves to their reading public? Their own, or their literary double's. Enter the creative mind. The very nature of a fiction writer is to write fiction, is it not? Indeed, it is. And, so...

Shellam's story begins in Australia as Siobhán Eithne O'Shea, the only child of Irish-born parents. Growing up on a remote farm, her young life is idyllic. Though isolated from everything beyond the farm, Siobhán's life is filled with work, her books, and her parents' love. As a young teen, tragedy ensues, forcing her to survive on her own, and learn to live in a strange and mysterious world.

In this coming of age story, Djuna Shellam-nom de plume-author of The Em Suite Series, shares the early years of an unconventional life in Vol 1 of her memoir series, The True-Life Adventures of Djuna Shellam. Beginning in the Victoria countryside, her story continues to Melbourne, VIC. Siobhán enters uncharted territory that's fraught with challenges, discoveries, love, and heartache. As she gains a footing in her new world, solved mysteries and shared secrets create lifelong bonds in the gripping story of an extraordinary life.

Autorenporträt

Djuna Shellam was raised on a farm in Victoria, Australia. On her own since approximately the age of fourteen, Djuna Shellam has traveled the world, picking up interesting experiences along the way. She now resides in North Idahountil the travel bug bites her once again. She currently has four novels published with Magnhild Press, and is working on the fifth, which is scheduled for publication sometime near the end of 2020.

[Please note: Djuna Shellam is a fictitious character, invented as a nom de plume for a writer who wishes to maintain whatever semblance of anonymity is possible in this intrusive Internet world in which we live. Rather than pick a name and leave it at that, the writer decided his or her pen name should be interesting, with a life and story of her own. Too often, the lives of writers are mundane, which contributes to our imagination and need to write. Djuna Shellam is but another opportunity to create a fairytale of sorts; but, more than anything, it's the perfect excuse to have fun.]
