Shirley Ulbrich (writing as S. M. Ulbrich) is a Latter-day Saint author, former foster mother to over 200 children, and a fierce believer in faith, family, and freedom. After 50 years of marriage, raising five children of her own and adopting three sons, she now writes from her bed during the quiet midnight hours—pouring her lifetime of trials, miracles, and testimony into uplifting stories for children, teens, and adults.
 Her ‘Discovering Misty’ series delights young readers with wonder and wholesome adventure, while her coming novels weave Latter-day Saint prophecy, American patriotism, and the triumphant hope of the Second Coming. Shirley is racing the clock with stage-4 kidney disease to share every story the Lord has given her. Shirley Ulbrich is an award-winning newsletter editor, copywriter, web designer, homeschool teacher, Cub Scout leader, voter poll worker, and medical foster parent. She’s survived raising eight children, altitude sickness, speaking at the State Capitol, three years in a 31-foot RV with three other adults, and managing a 25-acre church park. Shirley took in over 200 foster babies and hosted 600 Cub Scouts on her lawn for two weeks annually. Now, she lives her lifelong dream in a log house in East Texas with her patient, wonderful husband of over 50 years, two adopted sons—Jason and Kenny—and a lively crew: one Great Pyrenees named Daisy, five cats, four breeder rabbits, 25 chickens, and two cows. With eight children, 16 grandchildren, and three—almost four!— great-grandchildren, her family is deeply cherished. Shirley’s characters are fearless, clever, and wise, but in real life, she’s afraid of falling down. She and her husband share a home filled with love, animals, and a lifetime collection of books. .
