Shay Rodricks started her storytelling journey in musical theater and obsessively reading fantastical worlds from her favorite authors. She fell in love with writing as a way to tell the stories she wants to read and explore the worlds she wants to explore.
Her titles other than author include: coffee queen, tattoo addict, trashy tv lover, wishful dragon rider, dancer, world traveler (when she can afford it), and chocoholic. Shay currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her wonderful hubs, their (mostly) angelic kiddos, an old man dog, and a ball python named Steve.
After graduating from Mercer University, Shay became an active member in the Atlanta writing community and is now a board member for Broadleaf Writers Association.
Shay’s debut novel, The Nightshade, releases October 14, 2025.
