B.P. Shea writes stories for people who wonder what’s up there.

His stories of first contact and adventures in the stars explore how contact impacts not only mankind, but the aliens who also thought they were alone in the universe. What aliens might think of us, and each other, offers as much wonder and adventure for today's readers as more common tales of humans fighting alien invaders.

Drawing on his years in Asia, Australia, and the United States, B.P. Shea’s novels and short stories focus on how environment shapes cultures and what happens when those cultures meet on Earth and in the far reaches of space.

From the thrilling twists and turns of The Sky People trilogy to the experience of first contact through the eyes of a Taiwanese monk in the forthcoming Moon Of The Buddha, B.P. Shea writes tales of thrilling strangeness for all fans of science fiction.

B.P. Shea is also the author of The Tea Fellowship: Thirty Years and the Halloween Hike, which chronicles his annual pilgrimage to the White Mountains of New Hampshire with his childhood friends, where they camp, hike, and reflect on a lifetime of friendship. B.P. Shea’s non-fiction works also include the forthcoming Taipei for Dinner: A Guide To The Bastard Child of Asian Dining.
