Shantelle Ruppel is the author of the Chronicles of Sambreia and is excited to see her first book published. Growing up as a homeschooler, Shantelle was always a playful, imaginative girl who was always looking for an epic quest. Her writing adventure began eight years ago when she was twelve and she began to write her magical story. It started with one crazy thought: "I'm going to write a book." Shantelle was in for a ride and every corner was a suprise as she watched her story unfold and take its course. Shantelle is delighted to be in a new chapter of her adventure as she enters the marketing world. She currently resides in California with her family where she continues to write and pursue her bachelor's degree of music. Shantelle cannot wait to see what great wonders lay ahead as she embarks on this new avenue of life.
