Shelley Boettcher once had a psychic tell her she’d make a good used-car salesman. Instead, she became a writer after stints as a cook, a chambermaid, a nanny and the only woman on a rural construction crew. Based in Calgary, Canada, she is an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world. She holds a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Western Ontario, and she is the best-selling author of Uncorked, a guide to wine shopping in Alberta, Canada. The third edition was published in Fall 2013. Follow Shelley on Twitter, @shelley_wine.
