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!
Saturday, August 9, 2008:
- I have updated the Partners in Time website with both a whole new section -- a photo gallery of real-life location inspiration -- and a PIT4 updated "In Jokes & Background Stories." Both of these pages include spoilers for PIT4...be forewarned!
- A Q&A interview I did this spring, in anticipation of PIT4's release, is published here, among other places. (Yes, one of my strange hobbies is "ghosthunting.")
- I will be doing a book event, including a reading from PIT4, a Q&A, and a booksigning, on SATURDAY, AUG 16, 2008 at GARDEN HOME REC CENTER in PORTLAND, OREGON! (Go here for more details!) Later this fall, I will do a similar event in the Sacramento, CA region.
- I began PIT5 on July 13th, 2008. It's coming along well when I sit down to write.
- HVC6 is moving in fits and starts around PIT-related writing and revision. I am hoping to get it done
in the summer months eventually. A "sneak peek" is now up here.

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.
