Hi, I'm Pearls By Shirl, also known by my pen name, S. Raven Stotts! My nickname, Shirl the Pearl, came from my family when I was a child, and that's where the name Pearls By Shirl was born. It's a little piece of home that I've carried with me into my writing journey. I have a passion for science fiction, fantasy, and romance. I love creating stories that challenge the way we see the world while taking readers on unforgettable adventures. One thing that's really important to me is connecting with my readers. I genuinely enjoy hearing your thoughts, theories, and reactions, so please don't hesitate to leave feedback or send me a message. I love talking about books and I'm always happy to return the support to fellow writers. And yes-I'm officially back to writing! Life has been busy these past few years. I became a librarian and now oversee Marketing and Outreach for my library system, all while balancing school, work, and everything else life threw my way. Writing had to take a back seat for a while, but now that things have settled down, I've rediscovered the inspiration that first made me fall in love with storytelling. This time, I'm determined to finish what I start. I'm pouring my heart into this new story, and I can't wait to share every twist, mystery, and world with you. Thank you for being here and for giving my stories a chance. I hope you'll join me on this new adventure-I think it's going to be one worth taking.
