Long Bio
Shelley Marsh is an author whose upbeat, character-driven mysteries celebrate the eccentric charm of Florida’s First Coast. Her upcoming debut, Dying to Live Here (Fawkes Press, Feb 10 2026), launches the Estate Sale Mysteries starring Emma Stewart, a former tech worker turned estate-sale sleuth whose knack for unearthing heirlooms (and clues) keeps neighbors and readers guessing. Shelley’s fiction mixes crisp plotting with beach-town atmosphere, sun-splashed humor, and a hint of slow-burn romance.
For more than twenty years, she has called coastal North Florida home, “researching” at estate sales and spending her free time combing beaches and bookstores for seashells and story sparks. Shelley is the vice-president of the Northeast Florida chapter of Sisters in Crime. Sneak peeks and reader bonuses live at ShelleyMarsh.com and @A1ABeachwriter.
