Hello, I write novels and screenplays. I'm a counselor in private practice, and a very fortunate husband and father. I have been sober since January 10, 1986. I've also been an actor, a country music artist in Switzerland (with my ex-wife Suzanne Klee), an Emmy-nominated songwriter, a music publisher, a VP of Carolco Pictures and worked as a free-lance Music Supervisor on films such as Basic Instinct and Universal Soldier.

My latest novel is a gruesome tale called "DAEMON," soon to be released in trade paperback by DELIRIUM BOOKS. If you enjoy horror, it is guaranteed to keep you up at night. You can also order "DAEMON" here, via Amazon.

Going back a few years, my first mystery MEMORIAL DAY (A Mick Callahan Novel) takes place in fictional Dry Wells, Nevada and features a recovering alcoholic talk show host. New Mystery Reader called it "wry, bittersweet and altogether touching," Library Journal praised it as "memorable," and Booklist said of my amateur sleuth Mick Callahan, "Lets hope he's around for a long run." The sequel, EYE OF THE BURNING MAN (A Mick Callahan Novel) was released in November, 2005. Publisher's Weekly said: "Fast-paced and an easy read...Mick is convincingly righteous, vengeful and wisecracking in this second outing." Mystery Scene wrote: "The real strength of this book is in its central characters flawed, human, often funny, sometimes tragic and the relationships among them." The third Callahan novel, "One of the Wicked," has been scheduled for a hardcover release in November of 2008.

A thriller entitled THE PRESSURE OF DARKNESS came out in 2006. I'm very proud of this one. You can order by clicking on the banner. The brilliant Ken Bruen (Author of The Dramatist and The Guards) said, "Wondrous! If Michael Herr, David Morrell and Robert Stone wrote a book together, this would be it. The Pressure of Darkness is a tremendous novel that works on every level." J.A. Konrath (Author of the Lt. Jacqueline Jack Daniels Series) writes "Gritty, absorbing, and wonderfully written---Shannon grabs you by the short hairs and tugs until you scream. This is easily one of the best thrillers of the year." Gregg Hurwitz (Tim Rackley novels) opines "A blend of horror, Eastern philosophy, Spec Ops thriller, and virus white-knuckler, The Pressure of Darkness keeps the pages turning as fast as your hands can move. Strap in and read fast, or this one'll leave without you."

Okay, if you're a horror fan you're probably wondering what happened to my earlier works. My debut novel was the very campy NIGHT OF THE BEAST--the first in a pulp trilogy set in northeastern Nevada. NIGHT OF THE WEREWOLF won the small-press Tombstone Award for Best Novel. The final book, a limited edition hardcover called NIGHT OF THE DAEMON, sold out in 48 hours. Unfortunately, the first two novels remain out of print, and can be difficult to find except used or at auction via EBay. However, as stated earlier, the third has been re-titled "DAEMON" and is available in affaordable trade paperback from DELIRIUM BOOKS . If you enjoy horror, it is guaranteed to keep you up at night. "DAEMON" can also be ordered at a discount via Amazon.com.

If you enjoy horror movies, I scripted the indie film DEAD AND GONE (a spooky but funny homage to classic movies like the 'Evil Dead' series) and also played a bit part as the Sheriff.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE TRAILER!

The cast includes Quentin Jones, Kathrin Bates, Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, Chris Bruno of TV's "Dead Zone," rocker Ben Moody and scream queen Felissa Rose. The movie will be out on DVD in July, 2008. A novel version will follow come August. Check out the website at DEAD AND GONE and some cool coverage by industry magazine leader FANGORIA

I believe Americans must come together, change direction, take better care of our men and women in uniform and immediately prosecute the corrupt politicians and sociopathic corporations currently engaged in war profiteering. Yeah, I know, I know. Dream on. Anyway, thanks for stopping by!
