It’s Constitution Day!

Single in the CIA

Today is Constitution Day!

As some of you might know, I am a huge advocate of freedom of speech, one of our rights in the USA. Our Constitution gives us that right.
I honestly never learned much about US history and our Constitution in school (I was in California at that point in school-age). It was either that they didn’t teach much about it, or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention. As an adult though, I have learned a lot about it, and how important our rights are. I always tell my children that most of what I’ve learned in life was self-taught.
You also may not know that I have an Etsy shop with downloadables that help teach US history and our Constitution.

14 Books and Counting!

Mingling in the CIA, Mission: Stand Down, Mommy Thinks She's a Monster, Single in the CIA, Spooky Shelly Tales, The Adventures of Shelly Beach, The Lemon Seed

I’ve just released my fourteenth book since 2015! Granted, some of the books are actually novelettes (the Mingling in the CIA series), but still an accomplishment!

The latest series is the most fun to write so far. I’ve already started the next in the Spooky Shelly Tales series.

And for those of you who have been asking, the next in The Adventures of Shelly Beach is also in the works. I average one book a year, but I’ve started writing two at a time.

It’s definitely difficult with two young kids and a puppy, but I love doing it – the only job I’ve ever loved.  So if you have time, please support my books in whichever way you can. Buy a book, give them as gifts, share the social media posts, tell your school about some of my books, donate to my independent author fund, just share the information!  It all helps. In a world filled with quick videos and short attention spans, I think we could all benefit from reading an actual book once in awhile. And if you would rather listen to them, they are all on audio book also, except for the children’s picture books.

 

My Books Are Now Available As Audio Books!

Mingling in the CIA, Mission: Stand Down, Single in the CIA, The Adventures of Shelly Beach

I’ve wanted to turn my books into audio books for a long time – many people had asked me about doing this. Now, I finally had the chance! Most of my books are now available as audio books as well as the other formats. I’m not sure how the redacted portions of my CIA-themed books will come out, but I’m sure people can figure it out.

Enjoy!

FORMER CIA OFFICER SHELLY MATEER UNCLOAKS THE “AGENCY” AND HER “MAN-IZING”

Single in the CIA

Ten years ago I published my first book, Single in the CIA. I couldn’t have even imagined the doors it would open to me, and honestly, it’s not my best writing! In the book I focused on my personal relationships in the Agency (in a comical way) and discussed the bloat I saw, well before it was the major news topic of the day.

I recently had the honor of being interviewed by the former stenographer for both the Bush and the Obama Administration, Mike McCormick, on his wildly popular Substack~

It’s not easy to write a book as a true CIA insider. First, you have to get in. Not easy. Then you have to get out. Again, not easy. And finally, you have to write about it and have your work approved for release according to CIA public affairs protocols. Very not easy….

My Appearance on Good Morning Islamorada Sun 103.1 Radio

False Buddha LLC, Mingling in the CIA, Mission: Stand Down, Single in the CIA

Hi All!  It has been a while since I’ve done any radio or TV or podcast appearances – but today broke the silence!  I was honored to be asked by Monroe County State Attorney Dennis Ward to appear on Good Morning Islamorada.

As many of you know, I have cancer.  I am going for the first major surgery on May 23rd.  It has been a long road full of torturous appointments, but I am lucky, as I have had this for a LONG time. It is safe to say that the doctors are shocked.  So, hey, whatever I’ve been doing – it works.  You may want to later subscribe to my portal Cooking in the CIA (I hope to have it live within the next year).
