Hi, I'm Shane Van Aulen and I have to admit that I'm not good at the whole social media thing, even though I'm a writer.

As an independent author, I have found the road difficult to get my voice out in a traditional way. I've written eight novels to date; two epic fantasy, four military science fiction, a mystery/action/detective science fiction thriller and one apocalypse survival novel (I wanted to prove you could have a zombie story without your main character being an idiot and dropping his gun on every other page).

Dead Country free til 31st/23

For Halloween, my novel Dead Country is free until the stroke of midnight on Halloween. Super shoot'em up! It is the people you need to be afraid of.

My wife says that the lead character, Derek Gaunt, is the closest of my characters to me. I'd say he is smarter than me by a long shot. If you love dogs, you'll love super smart Roxy and big goofy killing machine Rosco.

Enjoy

“The fog of war was a real thing that interfered with one’s battle vision and the ability to see the whole picture clearly. So impaired, it is easy for minor judgment mistakes to pile up to become major errors.”

Shane’s Quotes

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”
― Winston Churchill
