Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this fangirl?
Shelby has a had a few rough years around her health, but through the kindness of Ashley and David, and many others she has found a way to deal with her illness. She has become quite the writer and wants to make that her profession. She wants to be a novelist. Shelby was bed-ridden for almost two years. But this is where she found her love of reading, writing, and all things sci-fi/fantasy. Shelby had the treat of a lifetime last year, as Ashley and David invited us to spend a few days with them at Star Wars weekends at Disney. The friendship and kindness extended to Shelby and the rest of us will be something none of us will every forget. Shelby’s health continues to improve, she still has her ups and downs. But I think we have turned a corner.
From a dads perspective, I once again have to say thanks to Ashley. Her friendship to my girls and specially to Shelby has made such a big improvement in her outlook. Thank you so very much!
How does this fangirl express her fandom?
Through her writing, she has several stories ongoing. Books in fact. She is a writing machine, so very passionate about what she writes. Once again through encouragement from Ashley, Dan Madsen, Veronica Rossi, and Donna Cooner. I think she is well on her way to making her dreams come true.
What is her favorite fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her signed photo and shirt from Ashley.
