About Me 

Hi there.

Thank you for taking the time to visit. 

I hail from the Sierra Mountains of California but now I live in Japan (near Kyoto) and have been here for 11 years. Wow that crept up on me. I live with my wife and Siberian husky wolf-child. I teach history for my day job, and love being outdoors--whether hiking, doing SUP, or just relaxing under a tree.

Writing is in my blood. Whether that's found in my horror novels or my real-life travel memoirs. My non-fiction has been published in the Japan Times (Japan's largest English newspaper) amongst other online travel sites.

 

Right now I have one horror fiction available in my "Black Sun" series. This will be a collection of five novels that are thematically connected and take place in the same universe. They all revolve around Japanese folklore and mythology. 

Reach out to me at my email address:

Hope to see you around,

Shawn
