Hi, I’m Adele Marie Lovade — the storyteller behind The Shih-Tzu Chronicles!

I’ve always believed that books should feel like cozy hugs and taste a little bit like fresh cupcakes. That’s why my stories follow a group of lovable Shih-Tzus, their dragon friend Zephyr, and their kind (but sometimes flour-covered) mummy, Mrs. Willows, as they dive into adventures filled with teamwork, bravery, and friendship.

I write for children — and for the grown-ups who never lost their imagination. My goal is simple: to give you stories that make you laugh, dream, and believe in magic again.

Outside the pages, I’m usually exploring new story ideas, enjoying something freshly baked, or connecting with readers who believe life is better with a little sparkle.

So, welcome to my world! I can’t wait to hear what you think, which character makes you smile the most, and maybe even share a cupcake or two along the way.
