ⓘ About Shyla Colt
Mother of two and a wife, takes road trips with her strange brood when she is not taking on a new hobby or bingeing spooky documentaries and podcasts. Shyla writes strong women with plenty of nerdy tendencies, sass, and the intriguing intense males that love them. While listening to her Romani soul, she writes from the heart, allowing the dynamic characters, eccentric interests, and travels as a former flight attendant to take her down the untraveled roads. Shyla was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is proud of her midwestern roots. Shyla was named after Super Girl in the comics, and often mistakes her mortality for superhero status. She used her hometown and the surrounding areas as a backdrop for a number of her books.
