Sheila Myers is an award-winning author and college professor who lives in Upstate New York. When she’s not writing, she likes to venture out into the wilderness, swim in lakes, and make the occasional trip to a cemetery to find inspiration. Human failures and passions are always good starting points for a plot and there is plenty of that to go around. Her latest novel, The Painting, placed as a finalist in the Daphne Du Maurier Award for Mystery and Suspense and will be published by Black Rose Writing publishers June 2026.
