Fred Shackelford Publicity Photo (Final)

I’m a Virginia attorney living on farmland that my great-great-grandfather purchased in 1817. Before writing my début novel The Ticket, I published Judges Say the Darndest Things, a collection of humorous excerpts from legal opinions. I’m a graduate of the University of Virginia. (Go Wahoos!) In addition to winning honorable mention for the Eric Hoffer Award, The Ticket was a finalist for the National Indie Excellence Awards, a finalist for both the Clue Award and the Mystery & Mayhem Award from Chanticleer Book Reviews, and a quarterfinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest. Thanks for visiting my website!
