Isn’t it lovely?

I haven’t had a Shelley Adina website in a while, mostly because I couldn’t settle on a look … I like changing things around too much (which is why this blog has gone through a couple of iterations in its short life). But as I was thinking about the books I write, I realized that a website shouldn’t just be about that—the books, I mean. Not solely.

A website should be about the world I invite people into. A world that’s beautiful, and subtle, and has more to offer the longer you look into it. Which is what www.shelleyadina.com does now, thanks to the magical touch of Maddee James at xuni.com. I invite you to pop over and have a look … to pour a cup of tea, cut a slice of cake, and relax into the ambience of the Belle Epoque, with its stories, its inventions, its beauty … and its endless creativity.

Come and join me in my world.

    My writer friend Elise posted the other day about playing with her grandson—making up a script, changing it on the fly, having fun living the story without actually knowing where it was going from one minute to the next. It made me think about how we used to play when I was a kid. “Let’s play…

    Book titles

    Ah, titles. When authors get together to talk, it’s one of the subjects (like marketing and writing a synopsis) that can make us pull out our hair and offer each other wine. It seems so easy, doesn’t it? A couple of words and you’re done. If only it were that simple. Book titles have to…

    Here in what Joe Konrath and Barry Eisler refer to as the “shadow industry” of self-publishing (I feel so clandestine!), trends come and go. Free books, 99-cent bundles, funnels—you name it, someone has a marketing strategy for it. Me, I dabble in some things (like the 99-cent bundle of six romantic mystery novels I’m in…

    For some years now, I’ve been scattered all over the Internet. My steampunk self and books were on a very pretty site in one location, my plain self and Amish women’s fiction were at another location, and my romances and young adult novels were somewhere else. The paranormal ones gave it up entirely and vanished into…

  1. It is indeed lovely! Congratulations on your new website! Counting down the days until Brilliant Devices is released!

  2. Really like the art design and your photo. If ever there was a woman’s steam-punk look (not a lot of tech or rough stuff) you’re got it. I’ve got 2 books read and 2 to go. Potential movie rumours?

  3. What’s the tie -in to Seton Hill? And what clock is used in the masthead photo? Is it from the campus there?

    1. I earned my MFA at Seton Hill. But the clock has no connection … I took the picture from behind its face at the Musee d’Orsay in Paris 🙂

      1. I wondered, as My husband and I are from Greensburg area originally with some ties to Seton Hill and St Vincent’s. I have a similar photo I shot from inside the Old Main tower at Penn State.
