Welcome. My name is Kristen Sheley, and you have landed upon my website. It doesn't look like much, now, but this site will be under almost constant construction when time permits. I'm a big fan of the idea that content is more important than bells and whistles, so the design of this site will likely remain fairly simplistic. However, what time I do not devote to web page design I spend creating the things you will find within these pages. Enjoy!

- Partners in Time #4: Family Matters is at the publisher's now! Check out the synopsis and cover art here. (Or, rather, here is the cover art in a larger format, not a thumbnail. My pal Izzy Medrano did the honors.) I'm quite excited! Since I have time off over the summer months, this should provide me ample time to promote the book. I hope to have a book signing in Oregon around the release, as well as one down in the Sacramento-region where I live. The book should be out in June sometime. Keep checking back for more updates as they come.
- I am in the process of researching and outlining PIT5. I hope to have a solid structure figured out in the summer to begin in around then.
- I took a bunch of photos last summer in Oregon for a new webpage on the PIT portion of the website. The webpage will have photographs of real places that inspired fictional locations (or real ones) in PIT1 - 4. Since some of this may be spoilery for PIT4, I am not putting it up until the summer, post-release of PIT4.
- HVC6 is moving in fits and starts around PIT-related writing and revision. I am hoping to get it done in the summer months, or by then. We'll see. A "sneak peek" is now up here.
- My first novel, Partners in Time #1: No Time Like the Present is now out and available to order, through my publisher's website or through the websites of Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, BooksAMillion.com, WalMart.com, Borders.com, and Buy.com. One can also order it online OR go in the store and pick up an actual physical copy at Powell's Books, in Portland, Oregon.
- My second novel, Partners in Time #2: Going Medieval is now available through my publisher's website and other's, including Amazon.com, B&N.com, BooksAMillion.com, Borders.com, and Powell's Books. It can also be ordered from your neighborhood bookstore. If you've read the story, I encourage you to leave feedback in the form of a review at one of the above websites!
- My third novel, Partners in Time #3: Future Shock, is now out and available to order through my publisher's website. It is also at Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com, BooksAMillion.com, Powell's Books, Buy.com, and Borders.com.
About Me: The obligatory profile page....
"Welcome to the Future": The Back to the Future Fanpage: This is where I first began on the web in 1996, and it is probably the most extensive aspect of my site. Here you can find photos, essays, tours, informational tidbits, and my vast library of fan fiction -- more than twenty stories, now -- on the world of Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and flying DeLoreans.
The "Partners in Time" Series: This is the official website devoted to my first published series and includes information on the books, the characters, a blog on the writing process, and any media relating to it. It will be expanding in content over time.
Published Articles: Links to articles I wrote, or was the subject of, that have an existence out in cyberspace.
Photographs: I dabble in photography as a rather frivolous hobby. Here are some of my better ones. This area of my site is fairly small now but maybe it will grow over time.
The World of Miscellany: Stuff here is sort of random and varied. Maybe the odd piece of writing, lists of recommendations with websites, books, CDs, or whatever else I feel a need to share with the world at large.
