About Shawn

The introvert is strong with this one. The world was often too much for Shawn’s neurodivergent brain and the excitement of stories coming to life on the screen and page became their escape from an early age. It wasn’t long before they put pen to paper and began the long road to finding their own voice to add to the creative conversation. It was at a small art school in Chicago where their writing came into sharper focus. Always wishing their stories could be bigger than life, they completed the screenwriting program and hunkered down to write screenplay after screenplay. After several screenplays and years of workshopping, honing skills, tearing down and rebuilding, the form of their writing shifted away from the screenplay format and settled comfortably in writing novels. Writing, whether it be a screenplay or a novel is all they’ve ever wanted to do. There are limitations in life but there are no limitations on the page. 

None of it would be possible without the incredible love and support from their partner/forever bestie, Digs, and their amazingly talented, kind, funny, future-published-author, and all around awesome kid, Shosh. Cozy nights spent on the couch with their favorite people in the world, sandwiched between dog butts is the life they dreamed and hoped for but never thought would be their reality.
