INSTRUCTOR:   
Margaret Riley, Publisher Changeling Press.
Award winning author Shelby Morgen (AKA Margaret Riley) loves writing off-beat tales that defy as many rules as possible. She likes chocolate with her peanut butter, Suspense with her Romance, and kink with her sex. She's always had a hard time keeping Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Paranormal from mixing with her kink. Fortunately for Shelby, electronic publishing has opened many new doors for cross-genre authors and artists.
 
Shelby shares her belief in electronic publishing with her longtime friend and partner, Bill, her husband of 30 years. Visit Shelby's website, www.ShelbyMorgen.com for her latest releases, and www.ChangelingPress.com and www.RazorsEdgePress.com to see what Bill and Margaret have been up to as Publishers.
 
Shelby's got a Facebook page, too, but she doesn't hang out there -- Vampire Wars will suck her in.
 
When you can catch her awake and not buried up to her eyebrows in work, Shelby will assure you this is the best job in the world... she's the keeper of dreams.
