Shell Isenhoff


Biography

I write mainstream novels for kids under my full name, Michelle Isenhoff. In my novels, you can expect ADVENTURE and SUBSTANCE, but I'll always respect the INNOCENCE of our children.

My novels are not religious in nature. To keep my work in separate genres, I chose to publish my Christian fiction under my nickname, Shell Isenhoff.
