Shana Abe started her career writing Regency-era historical romance before moving into paranormal territory with the Drakon series. Those books — about a secret race of people who can transform into dragons, living hidden among Enlightenment-era English society — combined her historical romance skills with fantasy world-building in a way that attracted a crossover audience.
Her more recent work has shifted toward straight historical fiction. The Second Mrs. Astor, about the youngest bride aboard the Titanic, drew strong reviews and introduced Abe to readers who might not have found her through the paranormal romance shelves. Whether writing dragons or real historical figures, Abe brings careful period research and an attention to sensory detail that makes her settings feel tactile and real.
