Shirley G. Webb is a retired TV ad writer who now writes wholesome stories for both children and adults. Born in West Virginia, she is of Cherokee heritage and has a great love for the culture and traditions of American Indians of all tribes.
This author is known nationally for her story readings to children from her book, Tales from the Keeper of the Myths (iUniverse Inc.). Dressed in Native regalia, she takes the children back in time to her great-grandmother’s Cherokee village and then weaves tales from the ancient Cherokee culture which her grandmother told her when she was a child. Her readings form an excellent multicultural program for schools, libraries, and other settings such as scout groups.
Since 2002, Shirley, in Connecticut, and Janet Moreland, in Nevada, have written and published three historical Women's novels and one contemporary romance. The authors met online and found they have mutual interests in writing and in Cherokee culture. Both authors say their friendship came first and cemented the rapport necessary for the overwhelming task of collaborating on this series while living a continent apart. Many hours of emails, phone calls, brief meetings, research, and revisions culminated in "The Howell Women Saga" - Cherokee Love, Dance in the Rain, and Song of Love, all published by iUniverse, Inc.All of the stories have a Cherokee background and follow the lives of four generations of the independent Howell women from 1865 to 1953 as they manage the daunting task of mixing family and career.
The authors have published the first book in a new contemporary series called "Choosing Love." This book is titled Echo of a Dream (iUniverse, inc.) and includes many of the characters from "The Howell Women Saga. The second book in that series, titled Echo of Sunset, is now a work in progress for Webb and Moreland.
Shirley visits high school classes, discussing with both teachers and students her experiences while writing her novels. She is in demand by professional groups for her articles on the craft of writing. Her articles for magazines and newsletters can be found on this web site.
