Shelby Bach is the author of The Ever Afters, a middle-grade book series. Its first installment, Of Giants and Ice, was published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers in July 2012. The sequel, Of Witches and Wind, was released in July 2013. The third book, Of Sorcery and Snow, was released in June 2014, and the fourth and final book in the series, Of Enemies and Endings, was released in June 2015.

Bach lives in Portland, Oregon, and is a part-time nanny. She grew up reading every book she could find and writing stories in battered notebooks, often coming home with a shirt stained by her adventures and having plenty of accidents that ended with searches for Band-Aids. Nowadays, she prefers writing on her laptop, but not much else about her process has changed.
