Shaila Patel

As an unabashed lover of all things happily-ever-after, Shaila Patel's younger self would finish reading her copy of Cinderella and fling it across the room because it didn't mention what happened next. Now she writes from her home in the Carolinas and dreams up all sorts of stories with epilogues and characters who look like her. Shaila is a a pharmacist by training, a medical office manager by day, and an award-winning author by night. She loves traveling, craft beer, tea, and reading a good book in a cozy window seat—but she'll read anywhere. You might even find her sneaking in a few paragraphs at a red light or gushing about her favorite books online. To learn more, visit her website at www.shailapatelauthor.com.
