And now, for something completely different! #PimpMyBio


Welcome, welcome, welcome!

My name is Shay, and this is my #PimpMyBio entry for 2017 Pitch Wars!

My novel, Choosers, is a 66000 word modern fantasy set in Fort Worth, Texas. But, it is not OUR Fort Worth. This is a world where all the gods that ever were have returned, gathering believers again and forever changing life.

Fort Worth is about to be ground zero in a battle between mortals and gods. Only Noah and Brandon have the courage, knowledge, and willingness to fight that fight, to stand between humanity and the coming of new gods.

They are Choosers, those who have opted not to worship any of the gods, to work to help humanity in a world greatly changed. They are counselors, helping those who are lost among the gods. Now they must be warriors.


Why I am a Good Mentee:

I take criticism with aplomb and common sense. I am not personally insulted if someone has opinions on my writing, or on me in general.
I am flexible, and listen well.
I love to learn new viewpoints
I love to learn, period.

Bio:
I am a writer and story teller. I have been writing novels and short stories for over 20 years, in between teaching and working. Several short stories have been published over the years.

Personally, I am a music-based lifeform. All writing must have music. I think in words, not pictures, and correspondingly have the ability to gross out my visual thinking friends with little to no effect on myself. I do renaissance faires in the spring (as an actor), and teach History to those who are on cast at our faire. I am more than slightly word-obsessed.

Current writing for the current scenes:
