Artist / Writer ~ Shan Spyker makes art, screens t’s + writes things! Her passion for writing was first ignited when she discovered the world of publishing through her love of music, when at age 14 she created her first zine (it's no secret, it was borne from her love for Duran Duran!), and her drive to write, design and publish has never diminished. She's been 'zine-making ever since and into current times producing several online collaborative creative writing, music, art, and photography projects and publications throughout the years.

She grew up along the shores of Lake Erie in NE Ohio and earned a BA in studio art, and later, a secondary degree in IT with a concentration in web design and development. Following college, she worked for several non-profit organizations, serving as both publication editor and author/writer for fundraising campaign literature. Today she owns and operates her own independent business, offering design and writing services to small businesses, academic publishers, and non-profit organizations, as well as consulting and interior book design services to independent authors.

The Way of the River: Kellandale Wood (Book One) is her first full length novel, a fantasy/adventure written for lovers of middle grade fiction. It was based upon a series of collaborative family bedtime stories that has spanned three generations, and first told by her father decades ago. You can learn more by visiting shanspykerauthor.com
