Shean was one of those children who became immersed in the world of fantasy at a young age. She read every fairytale she could find and reveled in obscure tales like Baba Yaga, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon. She adores Irish mythology, and a great deal of her writing reflects that love.

 She began by writing poetry and short stories. By the age of fourteen she had completed her first book, but never tried to have it published. Though she wanted to be a writer, and took college courses in creative writing, circumstances led her to obtain a degree in graphic design.

She seriously returned to writing when her mother encouraged her to join the Palm Springs Writer’s Guild. The spark ignited and was fanned into a burning flame.

Her husband is also a graphic designer and a photographer, and they reside in Southern Oregon with four marvelous talking creatures— Two African Grey parrots, Zen and Anaiah, a Blue-Fronted Amazon, Griffin and CJ, a Sun Conure.

Shean would love to hear from you. If you enjoyed The Feather and the Moon Well, please visit her website at www.shean-pao.com
