Sheila got involved in politics in 2016 and has never looked back. She’s now an elected member of the Maryland Democratic Central Committee. A lifetime of reading fantasy prepares one surprisingly well for entering the political arena! Sheila continues her work as an activist fighting for issues such as equity in housing and transportation, a living wage, the clean energy economy, healthcare for all, and campaign finance reform, as well as volunteering for other Democratic candidates. Most of her reading these days is issue-oriented nonfiction, but she still finds time to relax with YA SFF when she has some down time.
