Writes Family Sagas To Warm Your Heart.

Contact

I love talking about times gone by with my readers, and I suppose that is what I miss most about my hairdressing days – everybody had a story to tell, and when I told my clients about my interest in writing, their next words would invariably be, ‘I remember when…’ and the germ of a story would plant itself in my imagination. Although none of my books are based on real characters, they get to the heart of what matters most to all of us – or so my readers tell me.

If you want to contact me and have a natter, I would love to hear from you. I can be reached on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or you can email me. Also, you can sign up for my Sheila Riley newsletter, and be the first to hear of any news, or upcoming competitions and giveaways. I can’t wait to hear from you xx
