Author; Sir Shane Moore

About me:

Shane Moore grew up on a farm in rural Illinois. An only child that was six miles from his nearest peer, Shane often created wild tales of heroes and villains during his many trips into the deep woods that surrounded his home.

Shane was accelerated in his class and started his senior year of high school at age sixteen. After graduating and getting a waiver for his age, Shane joined the United States Navy to pay for college. He participated in campaigns; "Provide Hope" and "Secure Democracy" during the Yugoslavian civil war. Shane received several naval awards and citations and was one of the highest trained members of his ship.

After getting out of the service, Shane began college. He was soon hired by the Carlinville Police Department as a police officer, beginning his multiple venue police career. Shane retired as a police detective for the city of Gillespie after serving nearly twelve years in law enforcement. Shane’s police career was quite notable with dozens of awards and one life saving medal. He was named officer of the year in 2005.

Shane is a starting linebacker for the Central Illinois Cougars-a triple A semi pro football team. Shane is the team's all time tackle leader and holds the record for most special teams tackles in a season and the most tackles in a game. Shane received many awards including Defensive Player of the year in 2005 and was was a pro bowl selection in 2009.

January 14th 2008, Shane retired from his police career to be a professional novelist. His Abyss Walker series has spawned two franchise writers; renown novelist and playwright, Roy C Booth and up and coming novelist, Dave Barlow. The series has spawned five graphic novel spin offs with artists from Marvel and Gene Simmons’s “Dominatrix” writer, Sean Taylor. In August 2009 Shane will release book five in his Abyss Walker series with the debut appearance of a character modeled after Peter Mayhew (“Chewbacca” from Star Wars.)
