Deborah Shelley, the team of Shelley Mosley and Deborah Mazoyer, began writing together on a benchmarking report for city government in 1993. They soon discovered that, as much as they didn't like benchmarking, they loved writing together. In addition to the Deborah Shelley romances, Shelley has co-written several non-fiction books. Both Deborah and Shelley have been blessed with truly supportive families who encourage their writing; a wonderful critique group.
