Shelley Ballard
Biography
The creativity of this Flagstaff, Arizona denizen is ever evident, even in the name she chose for her day job—actually, a paperhanging business known as My Hang Up.
The Tinker of Petros marks Shelley Ballard's debut as an author. This is the first of three books in this series, Book Two being The Tinker’s Apprentice, and Book Three, The Tinkers’ War.
For Ballard this allegorical trilogy is a labor of love, presenting the ageless theme of good vs. evil in a way that readers will never forget.
Novels in progress include The Eden Virus and Nazi Gold.

Book Two in The Tinker Trilogy, an allegory for the ages. The plot thickens with twists and turns aplenty (think J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis). Many questions are raised:
Why is Paison Tinker No. 13? Why are the Watchers and Amon so interested in recovering evil Tinker Clovis' tools? What is the woodcutter up to? Will Pasion and Maddie fall in love? And what about the mysterious White Stag?
