Shawn's Interests
General
I have soooo many hobbies. Where do I start...?
Sailing (I have an old Hobie 14), skiing, karate (Shito Ryu), Rpg's (yeah, I know--Nerd!), golf, I make and play my own bamboo flutes (but it's hard to find decent bamboo in Ohio), I play (with) the guitar, art (mostly drawing and painting--I suck), reading, writing (of course), and more...
My wife is a member of the Gem City Rollergirls, (the only flat track roller derby league in Dayton) where she is known as Seoul Sister, and I am one of the coaches.

Music
Almost anything goes. If I like it (musically or lyrically), I'll listen to it.
Movies
Again...not picky. My favorites are any old Kung Fu (7 Brothers meet Dracula, Drunken Master, Etc.) or Godzilla movie. If you can find the movies where Godzilla uses Kung Fu, all the better!!! (they are out there...tust me)
Television
I don't have much time to watch much, but I currently enjoy Lost, Monk (but quickly losing interest), Ghost Hunters, and Myth Busters. Reality game shows (Survivor, The Apprentice...etc.) drive me nuts! I hate them! HATE THEM!!!
About me:
I have performed a variety of odd jobs through the years (including, but not limited to: carnival worker, bouncer in a Washington DC bar, ice cream store manager, and automotive mechanic), but recently rediscovered my true passion--writing.
A few years back, I published my first novel in the Dragon Songs series, Return of the Guardians and I just finished the second, Elements of Chaos (Working title...still in the editing process...). Check out my video section for a quick teaser I put together for the first book-Return of the Guardians.
Ouch My buddy did that 2yrs ago and it kept him out of Iraq.He will never get back complete 100%.That calf moscle thing can't feel good either.I hope it gets better soon.
