About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Ricky Sheldon. I am a writer based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Currently, I am at LSU earning my Master’s degree while putting the finishing touches on my debut novel, The Magician’s Mansion. I also coach track and field at Episcopal High School, and compete nationally in West Coast Swing with my partner Taylor Schoen. 

The Magician’s Mansion is a young-adult fantasy novel about a group of people captured and shrunken by an evil magician. The book follows Daniel and Maggie in their attempt to escape the magician’s enchanted mansion - filled with talking beasts, magic, and mystery. If you feel like checking out my blog, each month I will try to post a new piece of sample writing (sometimes poetry, sometimes prose), or some type of editorial.

I also always try to respond to every question or comment. No question is too dumb, no criticism too harsh! Check out the Contact section to get in touch.
