Shelley Shepard Gray’s bio:

Shelley likes to get up early, drink too much coffee, and write books. To date she’s sold 20 books since 2000. Shelley writes for Harlequin American as Shelley Galloway. Her books for them have won the RT Reviewer’s Choice award and have made the Waldenbooks bestseller lists.

HIDDEN is her first inspirational novel for Avon Inspire, and the first in her Sisters of the Heart series. Romance Readers Connection calls HIDDEN ‘an outstanding, deeply gratifying, refreshing book you won’t be able to put down.’ It was chosen to be a featured selection for CROSSINGS book club.
