T. K. Sheffield
WISCONSIN MYSTERY AUTHOR | WRITING BLOGGER

Hello!

I’m T.K., and I write stories for readers to laugh and escape.

My funny mystery series, The Backyard Model Mysteries, are “The Devil Wears Prada” meets a Wisconsin supper club. They’re clean, funny whodunits served with a brandy old-fashioned and cheese curds.

My magical comedies, The Valentine Lines and Valentines in July, are small-town romances similar to “Bell, Book and Candle.” Cupid, tired of the bureaucracy of Mt. Olympus, Inc., opens a matchmaking firm in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. When his godly relatives arrive, chaos ensues! They’re clean romances, funny stories to enjoy while touring Wisconsin’s Driftless Area.

I knew it was perfect the moment I saw it.   I love what I do.

ALL of my books, especially Nellie’s Island, a story about a pony finding her “filly esteem” on Mackinac Island, include horses.

I was born a horse-crazy girl, and it’s never left my imagination!

I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin. I have degrees from UW-Madison (BA) and Mount Mary University (MA). After working in communications, I taught college writing for a number of years. After retiring from teaching, I began writing full-time.

I’m on the board of the Wisconsin Writers Association, and a member of Blackbird Writers, SCBWI, and Sisters in Crime.

My work has earned awards from Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Killer Nashville, Eric Hoffer, Royal Dragonfly, Shelf Unbound Magazine, and others.

My screenplays have earned nominations from the Madison Film Festival, Wisconsin Screenwriters Symposium, Houston and Austin Comedy Film Festivals, Beyond Entertainment Family Film Festival, and others.
