Born and raised in western Canada, Arlie Sheelin is an avid reader and writer. With her reading interests stretching from Louis L’Amour's old west to science fiction, fantasy, romance and a smattering of other genres; it is no wonder she ended up with an imagination vivid enough to write her own books. She bills herself as a writer, introvert, and a bit of a geek. And happily, embraces it all. She also writes indy short story fiction online with some amazing writers and great people.  Family is important to Arlie, and she loves spending time with her daughters and their families. Living in a tiny apartment through the pandemic, she has developed a green thumb and a love for the Oak Island television show. She votes for the templars as her favorite theory for who hid the treasure.  Arlie has a New Media Production and Design Diploma and has spent many happy hours designing graphics for her stories. Recently she has published her first book, a science fiction/fantasy novel called The Way Maker. You can find her at www.arliesheelin.com
