Shelley Adina also writing as Adina Senft

MEET SHELLEY!

Shelley Adina Bates writes stories that feel like coming home: warm, clever, comforting reads filled with friendship, romance, mystery, and a little bit of wonder. Across four distinct story worlds, she writes steampunk adventures and cozy fantasy mysteries as Shelley Adina; Amish romance as Adina Senft; deeply researched historical mystery under her own name; and contemporary romance as Shannon Hollis. However different the setting—from a bustling airship port to a quiet Plain community—her books are always about people finding courage, connection, and the place they belong.
