About me:

Shawn Roberts is the pseudonym of a writer born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I was born in Seattle and grew up in a couple of small towns surrounding Seattle.

I attended the University of Washington until I was pushed out of the school when the guidance counselor overhead me complaining that my junior year was the hardest three years of my life. This was followed by attending graduate school in San Francisco until I found out that the school did not field a golf team.

After a career where I lived in various places on the west coast and traveled extensively, I returned to what I think of as the northwest corner of the northwest corner.

You’ll find fiction here ranging from essays to flash fiction to pieces of novel-length stories. The common elements are that most of the stories have some connection to the Pacific Northwest and that all of the stories are genre fiction of some sort.

Currently, I live on a small-ish island with my spouse and two Golden Retrievers. Most mornings I’m sitting on a bench on the porch with a cup of coffee guarding the bay in the Salish Sea that our house is on. It’s a nice bay and I’d hate to lose it, so I keep a close eye on it to make sure no one steals it. So far, this security plan has worked. When not doing that, I’m usually practicing guitar or trying to teach the dogs to say, “Time is, time was, time is past.”
