Author credits teachers and peaceful atmosphere of Shelby, Montana for much of her success

In 1994, Janet Skeslien Charles left Shelby, Mont., for Odessa, Ukraine as a Soros Teaching Fellowship Recipient. She would spend the next two years in Ukraine teaching English and immersing herself in the Russian language.

Charles didn’t leave Shelby empty handed, rather, she was full to the brim with ideas and dreams. Live in France. Write. Speak Russian. Write. Speak French. Write.

Fifteen years later, Charles returns to her roots in Shelby not only as a writer, but as a published novelist with the release of her first novel, Moonlight in Odessa (Bloomsbury).
