Sheldon Herman was born in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. His parents served long careers in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Sheldon followed in their footsteps. After contracting carbon monoxide poisoning which resulted in life-threatening injuries, Sheldon focused on other passions such as cooking, travelling, and writing, and has recently become a professional magician and a licensed race car driver. When a few trips did not go as planned, he began writing stories of his adventures in Europe, Asia, and Australia, which always gave his friends and family a good chuckle. Then the Africa trip happened and Sheldon decided to officially put pen to paper. With so many tales still left untold, there's a chance he'll grow a series.
