Magical stories of persistent hope and defying the darkness

As a recent high school graduate, The Department of Lost Things hit so hard it had me literally sobbing. Shannae describes the fear of reaching out to old best friends in such a realistic, tangible way, I felt so understood and heard as I read. Shannae has such a whimsical author voice that clearly shines in her story, and I can see her heart behind her words.

I loved reading The Myth of Fire, and there is so much to rave about. Among many other things, I was impressed with the cleverness of (the) concept and worldbuilding, (the) original and well-conceived characters, and (the) snappy dialogue which really brought those characters to life.

This engaging allegory explores the role of the church in reaching the lost. The author has created convincing characters and a coherent fantasy world that comfortably and naturally hosts big theological and missiological themes.

Why these stories?

Growing up, books were always the safe space I could turn to when my mind became chaotic. I thought I was escaping, but really I was journeying with flawed, battle-weary characters and learning to have courage and fight the darkness. Reading these stories gave my mind a break from the world and renewed my energy and hope so that when I set the book down, my reality seemed a little brighter. Now, I write to bring that joy, hope, and courage to anyone who picks up my stories.
