She is also a public speaker, and gives author talks and creative writing workshops to groups a one hour interactive talk on The Power of Story and The Highs and Lows of the Writing Life.
Her first two novels for new adults, Mystical Circles and A Passionate Spirit are both set in the same mysterious English manor house in the heart of England - the beautiful Cotswold hills. Mystical Circles begins, and A Passionate Spirit continues, the story of the two sisters Juliet and Zoe. There in that mysterious manor house, gothic goings-on, paranormal events and ghostly tales are never far away.
SC Skillman has set these two books in contemporary times, not far from her present home. But her new upcoming young adult gothic series starring teen rebel and musical genius Dylan Rafferty will be set in different English locations; so far, London and Stratford-upon-Avon. She has completed Director's Cut and is currently working on the second in the series, Standing Ovation.
She also writes inspirational non-fiction: Perilous Path, a writer's journey is packed with encouragement, tips and reminders for authors. SC Skillman's upcoming book, Paranormal Warwickshire, will be published by Amberley Publishing on 15th June 2020.
SC Skillman was born and brought up in Orpington, Kent, and has loved writing stories most of her life; inspired by the adventure stories of Enid Blyton, she began writing adventure stories at the age of seven.
She studied English Literature at Lancaster University, and her first permanent job was as a production secretary with the BBC. Later she lived for nearly five years in Australia before returning to the UK. She has now settled in Warwick with her husband and son, and her daughter is studying for a Masters degree at university in Queensland, Australia.
Near Sheila's home may be found some of England's most famous destinations: the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Shakespeare properties at Stratford-upon Avon, and the two great castles at Kenilworth and Warwick: all of them powerful places to visit, for someone seeking spiritual and historical inspiration.view less
