Hey there!

I’m Shannon — author, screenwriter, writing coach, and creative entrepreneur. I’m so glad you found my little corner of the great wide everything!

Science fiction is my playground. Near future worlds, dystopian thrillers, time travel, and sci-fi adventure genres are all favorites of mine. The first three books in my space opera series The Silesia Chronicles under the pen name Shannon Blake will be available in December 2022.

I like big “what if” questions, and I especially love to explore questions around new and emerging technologies. My current projects take up issues around algorithmic racism and bias to deepfakes to dream incubation to memory blocking and editing. I also love to reach back in our history and project the sins of our past (like the disregard and destruction of the cultures of indigenous peoples by explorers and colonizers) forward into an imagined future.

When I’m not writing my own stories, I love helping other writers as a creative coach and writing instructor. I host live creative fiction and nonfiction writing workshops for middle and high school students, speak at writing conferences, and work one-on-one with writer clients!
