More About Nely

Nely Sanchez is the author-illustrator of the Tallulah Spider children’s book series, the author of Hearts Crossing, a collection of poetry, and the creator of several productivity planners and faith-based journals.

Nely created the Tallulah Spider series for her children, and each book is a funny story of an almost real-life event.

Tallulah! The Pretty Spider on a Yo-Yo started the series after one of Nely’s daughters woke up from a nap and casually mentioned she had a strange dream that a spider was racing across the living room on a yo-yo.

For several years, Nely wondered what a little spider on a yo-yo was up to.

Nely also writes heartfelt and poignant poetry about love and life, often leaving the reader with a lingering sense of beauty and melancholy.

While working on a women’s fiction series set in a cozy small town, and several other writing projects, Nely is a busy homeschooling mom who uses her own productivity planners and faith-based journals to keep her life on track.

Originally from Chicago, she now makes her home in the Desert Southwest with her husband and their four children.
