Shanley Mahsay, a retired teacher, wife, and mother, resides in the serene and open spaces of upstate New York with her husband and two rescued dogs, Tick and Chip. Her first middle-grade level children's book, Colby: Adventures of a Rescued Puppy, has received great appreciation from readers. In response to popular demand, she has written follow-up children's books, including Colby: Adventures with Cousin Buddy and the third addition to the Colby's Adventures series, Colby: Adventures at Home.
Ms. Mahsay's stories are deeply inspired by her experiences teaching middle-grade students and growing up in a dog-loving family environment with numerous breeds of adopted or rescued domestic canines. The Colby Adventure Series was influenced by one particular family dog who stood out among all the others, making her stories relatable to anyone who has ever loved a pet.
At the end of each book, a discussion section is provided, offering comprehension questions, group activities, and written response exercises. This interactive feature is designed to engage readers and is particularly appreciated by educators.
Shanley Mahsay's books, available in paperback and Kindle formats, can be easily purchased and enjoyed on popular retail websites such as Amazon, and Waterstones and can be ordered at your local bookstore. This accessibility ensures that her captivating stories are within reach for all readers.
