edit data

Shane is a disabled agender (they/them) author of dark queer fiction. They have been writing since they were seven years old, and they haven’t stopped since.

Writing quickly became a way to escape from reality while dealing with early trauma, and it has helped them understand and cope with several mental illnesses they were diagnosed with throughout life. They’ve since used their writing to help raise awareness for misunderstood and stigmatized mental illnesses, but they also enjoy writing stories that make people think differently about societal norms we’re often raised with, such as gender, sexuality, and spirituality. They want to spread the message that it’s okay to be different.

Canvas of Scars | Launch!

Canvas of Scars, my first poetry, prose, and art collection is now officially live! It's also on Goodreads: Canvas of Scars

I’m equally excited and scared to share this thing. It took me a few years to work up the courage because of how raw and open it is. It’s a collection of art, poetry, and prose I made and wrote over the course of several years, but not necessarily for a book. It was all just f Read more of this blog post »
