Shea Meadows has always been a writer, starting when she was ten in the backseat of the car during family vacations. She forced her captive audience to listen to her creations, which were usually science fiction or fantasy and often came complete with bizarre illustrations which she shared with her brother.

In eighth grade, she received city-wide recognition in Detroit, but was told by many adults that being a writer was a difficult goal with little reward. She let go of that dream and focused on nursing as a career instead.

She joined writers groups and returned to her first literary loves: fantasy and science fiction. With the help of many helpful critics and countless hours of writing and rewriting, she won acceptance for some of her short stories in online anthologies.

The old adage that goes something like “you have to do interesting things to have something to write about” gave her reason to explore the metaphysical aspects of life.

Echoes of those many trainings and the reading of countless books can be seen in the plot lines of her stories, enlivened further through the power of imagination.

Shea lives north of Minneapolis near a pond that is a mass of frozen weeds in the winter and a delightful home to frogs, ducks, cranes, song birds, turtles and millions of bugs in the summer. She still enjoys adventures with her family and friends, and taking walks along their country road with her rather eccentric dog. She looks forward to sharing a long line of future books with people whose imaginations are just as vivid as hers.
