Since January 2016, I’ve been a freelance videographer, photographer, and social media content creator. I live in a rural Georgia town about an hour and a half inland from Savannah. Before 2016, I worked fifteen years at a small, non-profit youth home for troubled teenage boys. I was a mentor, educator, and the creative director during that time. I’ve always had a love of writing. As early as sixth grade, I wrote stories about my classmates, passing them around the room to get feedback. While at the youth home, I wrote and directed thirteen Christmas plays, often involving fantastical elements and frightening themes. I love fantasy. I love horror. I love comedy. Though challenging, I generally worked all three into the productions.By the time I began freelancing in 2016, I knew writing should be an important part of my life. It makes me happy in a way nothing else does. I had been working on a few novels for fun for several years by then, but I started looking at the future with the goal of self-publishing the Glint & Shade series, beginning with book one, The Scarecrow Hunters. I was finally able to launch the book in January 2022.To join my email list and access supplemental content from the Glint & Shade series, including maps, terms and folklore, go to my website: www.ericshanelove.com.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
