    Shameez Patel was born and raised in South Africa. She lives there with her husband, child and four cats.

    Shameez fell in love with fiction at a young age. Her parents fondly recall receiving her first handwritten story before the age of ten, titled The Treasures of Zombie Island, which surprisingly featured no zombies at all. She has been writing ever since.

    Her new release, Playing Flirty, is available now!
