More About the Author
Jana Lynn Shellman, a resident and native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, grew up on a farm near South Whitley, Indiana, and has lived in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and Huntington Beach and Orange County in Southern California as well. She is a retired paralegal, working for many years as a paralegal for several law firms specializing in criminal law. Her experiences have taken her in the direction of becoming a Life Coach, writing and teaching positive thinking since the early 70's, and her imagination has helped her to turn her many experiences in the law office into "what if" situations that have triggered many fiction stories.
Jana formed a small publishing company in the 90's and published the award winning inspirational book, The Wish Factory: How to Make Wishes Come True, along with publishing works of other authors while also keeping a law office running during the incapacitation of her employer.
One of Jana's favorite sayings is "don't ask for rules, someone will make one up for you" as a result she has written the first novel of a cozy mystery series Don't Ask For Rules, and is working on the second novel in the series Don't Ask Twice, and has the third in the series plotted. She is working as well on a women's adventure historical novel set in Indiana in 1812. She wrote a movie script entitled Egg Money, a one-act play Rockin, and numerous short stories. She has converted the original 26 page story, The Wish Factory, into a script for an animated feature film.
Jana lead an interesting life, taking a year and a half side-trip out of her forty-year career as a paralegal, pursuing an adventure as an over-the-road truck driver, driving eighteen-wheelers from coast to coast. As well, she is an artist, working in oils and in pottery. Other adventures have seen her working as a waitress, as the owner of an art gallery and the owner of a sign painting business; as well jumping from an airplane into the California desert to cure her fear of heights. She has observed those who love their jobs have wonderful stories to tell about their jobs.

This little book packs a lot of punch!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wish Factory: How to Make Wishes Come True (Paperback)
The subject matter is at once intriguing...who would not want their wishes all to come true. The story is delightful and shows us how we defeat our wishes, hopes, dreams and prayers by "undoing" them almost immediately! The story tells us, without preaching, what we need to do to correct this problem in our own lives. I think this book would be good for anyone to read, and if they didn't come away with tips for living their own lives in a more positive fashion, then they have not learned to make the right choices! Once again, a delightful book, which ought to be on everyone's bookshelf alongside the classical positive thinkers, such as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Dr. Robert Schuller to name just a couple.

Purely Positive Prose Sparkling With Possibilities,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wish Factory: How to Make Wishes Come True (Paperback)
This little big book THE WISH FACTORY by Jana Lynn Shellman offers the reader a simple, honest approach to making and keeping our lives positive and filled with possibilties. The message she has is beaming with hope, and is delivered with enthusiasm and that "personal touch". The book has two parts. Ms. Shellman begins with a most delightful story about a child who learns what to do with thoughts called "hopes" and "wishes". This story carries a powerful lesson of faith, reinforced by the art of positive thinking. It is the kind of story that could be surprisingly enlightening for anyone of any age. The second part is an instruction book that addresses lifes' personal issues such as "happiness" and "success". The author shares her insights and gives practical suggestions on how to mangage these areas in a personal way. The Wish Factory could be enjoyed by and useful to anyone, regardless of affiliation, and especially invaluable to those unaware of our heavenly connection. Al

COMMUNICATION PLUS,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wish Factory: How to Make Wishes Come True (Paperback)
The Wish Factory is age free. This story/instruction book shows us that no matter how hopeless a situation looks, we must remember that we are not alone and if we keep communication going with our Creator [and don't forget to listen], we will be given the answer that's right for us. I applaud the author on this book and look forward to more of her work.
