Shelley Wilburn is no novice when it comes to writing. She has been writing since she was twelve years old. She has authored several books, including the Walking Healed series, written for newspapers and women's magazines, written several articles and newsletters, as well as co-authored devotionals. She has also become a Ghost (ghostwriting for others), and her most recent endeavor, launching her editing and publishing business, Mountain Joy Publishing, where she coaches new writers and helps to launch their writing career. In addition to writing, Shelley is also an avid reader, book reviewer, blogger, and speaker. She is the founder and president of Walking Healed Ministries, helping people who struggle with depression and anxiety to find healing and wholeness through Jesus Christ. Shelley lives in Southern Illinois with her husband, Don, and their hilarious Chihuahuas, Georgie and Tootsie, and Grizzy the Great Pyrenees.
