A Lady of Resources: A steampunk adventure novel

RITA Award(R) winning author and Christy finalist Shelley Adina wrote her first novel when she was 13. The literary publisher to whom it was sent rejected it, but he did say she knew how to tell a story. That was enough to keep her going through the rest of her ado-lescence, a career, a move to another country, an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction, and countless manuscript pages. Shelley is the author of twenty-four novels pub-lished by Harlequin, Time/Warner, and Hachette Book Group, and several more published by Moonshell Books, Inc., her own independent press. Shelley is a world traveler who loves to imagine what might have been. Between books, she loves play-ing the piano and Celtic harp, making period cos-tumes, quilting, and spoiling her flock of rescued chickens.
