Long Bio

Shelley Marsh is the author of the Estate Sale Mysteries—Dying to Live Here, More Than She Bargained For, and Everything Must Go—as well as the standalone eco-mystery Up the Creek. Her fiction combines mystery, humor, and a strong sense of place, exploring the hidden tensions that lie beneath Florida’s sunny beaches, close-knit neighborhoods, and coastal communities.

Before turning to fiction, Shelley worked as a freelance journalist and magazine staff writer after an earlier career as a speech-language pathologist. She has lived on Florida’s First Coast for more than two decades, where she finds inspiration in everything from estate sales and quirky HOA politics to salt marshes and wildlife preserves.

Shelley serves as vice president of the Northeast Florida chapter of Sisters in Crime and has spoken at bookstores, literary festivals, and writing events throughout the Southeast. When she’s not writing, she’s likely combing the beach for shells, volunteering at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, or browsing an estate sale in search of the next story.
