Shaun earned a Masters in English (creative writing and teaching emphasis) and has taught university writing for over ten years. His writing style is typically visual, sensory, insightful and engaging. He has published a few books and several articles and poems. Here are a few links:
Gone but not Forgotten. A popular Christmas/adventure/insight/romance novella published by the University of Life Press which spent about two years in the top 200 and rose as high as #29 on Amazon.com’s ranking system.
Gone but not Forgotten underwent a MAJOR revision and became Courage, Love and the Meaning of Life (also printed in a holiday version as Courage, Love and the Meaning of Christmas). The sequel to either book is The Perfect Gift.

Is your Christmas novel related to your novella “The Spirit is Willing”? I remember reading that years back. Good stuff!
It is, actually. Good memory, Jenny! That became book two, “The Perfect Gift” (it’s much, much better now), and book one, “Courage, Love and the Meaning of Life” (or “of Christmas”), was written later.
How many books do you have out?
Thanks for the reminder of good times way back when….
