Order of Shirley Wells Books
Shirley Wells is an English author of crime fiction and romance novels (as Shirley Worrall). She writes the Kennedy & Trentham series and the Dylan Scott series. Shirley spent her early life in England’s Cotswolds. A headmaster once wrote that she was content to “dream her life away.” During her adult life, while living in Cyprus, she realized that she could use her dreaming to her advantage by writing fiction. Shirley then moved to Scotland’s Orkney Islands where she started writing short stories and began writing romance novels. She ended up moving to Lancashire, England and began writing mystery novels that were set in the area. When Shirley isn’t working on her latest novel, she enjoys reading, listening to music, watching TV and attended Burnley FC matches.
Shirley Wells became a published author in 1999 with the novel A New Future Beckoning, which she wrote as Shirley Worrall. She made her debut as Shirley Wells in 2007 with the novel Into the Shadows. Below is a list of Shirley Wells’ books in order of when they were originally released:
