Shawn P. Madison lives in a new house in Suffolk, Virginia, where the grass has grown in nicely and all of the books he has collected through the years now fit. He has written in the genres of action, childrens, contemporary, fantasy, horror, humor, mystery, non-fiction and science fiction. He has published more than sixty short stories in thirty different magazines and anthologies, both electronic and print. His first novel, GUARDER LORE, was released by NovelBooks, Inc. ( www.novelbooksinc.com ) in March of 2002 and his collection of short Horror Fiction, THE ROAD TO DARKNESS, was released by Double Dragon Publishing ( www.double-dragon-ebooks.com ) in April of 2003. Shawn and his wife share their house with two old friends: a much larger than normal cat and a dog who thinks he's human. Together, they all hope to make Virginia their permanent home.
