Shelly Laurenston, originally from Long Island, New York, has adapted to the laid-back lifestyle of the West Coast. This involves enjoying healthy food, mostly sunny days, and encountering many shirtless guys who perhaps should reconsider their wardrobe choices.

She is also known by her pseudonym, G.A. Aiken, under which she is a The New York Times bestselling author, famous for the Dragon Kin series. Her works often feature dangerously and arrogantly sexy dragons.
