Masheri Chappelle is a playwright and novelist, professional Story Guide and Indie Publisher. As an undergraduate and Smith Scholar at Smith College, her plays, Don't Cry Cuz the Sun Don't Shine, and Prisms: A Spectrum of Men's Minds, were produced at Smith College, and The Third World Theater Series, (UMass Amherst) respectively. Her play, The Roomer, received a NY reading with actors Moses Gunn and Isaiah Washington. However, her desire to be available to raise her two young daughters, gave her a reason to change her course and focus on novel writing. Novel writing didn't require traveling, or rehearsals away from home.
In 1989 she began her first novel, The Descendant, which is Book One of an autobiographic trilogy. It was published in 2009. by an Indie Publisher to great reviews. However, a strong interest in the early life of protagonist, Elizabeth Chase, sparked a prequel, The Oracle Files: Escape, which is now Book One in the Oracle Files Series.
In October 2019, The Oracle Files: Escape won the NH Literary Award for an outstanding work of fiction. In between working on Escape, Masheri returned to her first love, playwriting. In February 2023, she completed a full-length play, The Observation Deck, which is presently in the editing phase.
Her next literary project, The Oracle Files: Freedom, will be completed in Dec 2024.
Book two of THE DESCENDANT trilogy series, SILENT PARTNERS, will be completed in the winter of 2026.
