OMG! Shane and I had one of the best conversation. We spoke with each other like we have known each other for years. We laughed and had a very positive vibe. I asked Shane to tell the listeners a fun fact about him and he told me he was a "mobile DJ" how cool. He also told me that "Wild Turkey 101" is his favorite Whiskey and he loves watching reruns of "The Office." When I asked Shane what was his why and he told me that he is a teacher and he wants to impact his students and the readers lives. He also said he didn't know what he would do without music, storytelling or teaching, he loves it and he is going to keep doing it. Let's know more about Shane: ALL ABOUT SHANE: Shane Wilson is a storyteller. No matter the medium, the emphasis of his work is on the magical act of the story, and how the stories we tell immortalize us and give voice to the abstractions of human experience. His first two contemporary fantasy novels as well as a stage play, set in his World of Muses universe, are currently available.
Born in Alabama and raised in Georgia, Shane is a child of the southeastern United States where he feels simultaneously at-home and out-of-place. He graduated from Valdosta State University in south Georgia with a Masters in English. He taught college English in Georgia for four years before moving to North Carolina in 2013.
Shane plays guitar and writes songs with his two-man-band, Sequoia Rising. He writes songs as he writes stories--with an emphasis on the magic of human experience. He tends to chase the day with a whiskey (Wild Turkey 101) and a re-run of The Office.
Shane's novels are A Year Since the Rain (Snow Leopard Publishing, 2016) and The Smoke in His Eyes (GenZ Publishing, 2018). Shane's short story, "The Boy Who Kissed the Rain" was the 2017 Rilla Askew Short Fiction Prize winner and was nominated for a 2018 Pushcart Prize. An adaptation of that story for the stage was selected for the Independence Theater Reading Series in Fayetteville, NC.
Shane is currently at work on a new novel.
