About his work:
"Cruelty of Magic"
Shawn: "The Cruelty Of Magic" was my first novel to make it to publication that I wrote, start-to-finish, on my own. Cruelty is a high fantasy series with multiple origin stories built out with plans to be an expansive universe.
About the book: Release Date, December 1st, 2023
Impending war and doubts of prophecy initiate a complex magical journey where some mean to destroy gods and magic, while others seek understanding. Kyra is named in a prophecy calling her to the Stained Temple, where no one else has ever gone. The prophecy is met with resistance and doubt while a warlord surrounds the hidden city harboring Kyra and her people. The warlord means to end all magic by destroying the city with his army, made up of every known magic-wielding civilization on the continent. In the northern mountains, a dwarf flees to save his people, while a father and son practicing summoning magic scrape by in the sewers of a corrupt and dark city. Impending doom, religious doubt, political intrigue and tragedy haunt each step in this multiple point-of-view epic fantasy tale full of magical creatures, complex magic systems, and suspense. The Cruelty of Magic is a unique twist on familiar tropes of high fantasy, incorporating new mechanics to keep the reader guessing. Readers will struggle to find a villain in this world of moral ambiguity with shadows guiding everyone's choices.
"Dick, Stan Greene"
Shawn: My first book, "Dick, Stan Greene" was co-authored with Terry Rogere and published in November 2020. Terry approached me with Stan's world -- a world witnessing the early stages of self-sustainability -- and we went to work.
About the Book
In the city of Potstow, there sleeps a direful secret dying to be let loose.
There's a new self-sustaining city growing quickly within the Rocky Mountains. The local rags dubbed it the Town Pot Built, but with all the economic growth, there lies a crushing weight on the companies that don't comply. One annexed business owner unraveling at the seams is trying to hold on to the things that truly matter, but at what cost?
Meet Stan Greene. He's a dick-or used to be. He was once a rising star among the ranks of detective in the nation's capital, now just a lowly private investigator lost in the abyss of his growing middle age, traipsing in the reveries of lost love, his constant variable inflicting within his chagrin life.
In a twisting plot lead by the lofty narrator, Stan finds himself shrouded in the mystery of a highly publicized murder. With the arrival of his new neighbors and a hopeful sidekick, Stan may very well take his newfound home by storm and become 'Potstow's best investigator.'
