Shane is an urban poet living in the Seacoast of New Hampshire. After his second divorce, he had begun writing as a form of grief processing for both his daughter and the parental alienation that accompanied their separation. Since then, Shane has honed his craft to blend post-modernity with speculative concepts as well as topics of contemporary horror. Shane holds a passionate fascination with anything space and identifies as a cis-gender male feminist and LGBTQIA++ ally. Shane is currently completing his Master’s in Literature at UNH, and hopes to apply to an MFA in the near future. In his spare time, Shane binges Stargate SG-1 and most anything Star Trek.
