About this author

edit data

Award-winning author Shelley Adina wrote her first teen novel when she was 13. It was rejected by the literary publisher to whom she sent it, but he did say she knew how to tell a story. That was enough to keep her going through the rest of her adolescence, a career, a move to another country, a B.A. in Literature, an M.F.A. in Writing Popular Fiction, and countless manuscript pages. Shelley is a world traveler who loves to imagine what might have been. Between books, Shelley loves playing the piano and Celtic harp, making period costumes, and spoiling her flock of rescued chickens.

Shelley Adina liked Cheri's review of Her Own Devices:

" I liked the first book better, but that's not to say I didn't enjoy this book immensely. I just preferred the gadgetry and character development that we had which focused on Lady rather than the love triangle that is forming. If I have to pick a s... "
