Well, I say it depends on your reading tastes. I wrote steamy romances and soapy women’s fiction under Shelly Ellis for many years. I wrote historical women’s fiction under Shelly Stratton if that’s more your genre. I should note though that I have another L.S. Stratton book coming out summer 2024! Hope to share details in a few months.(less)
