About Shannon Michael, Storyteller

Hello, my name is Shannon (ve/ver/he/him/they/them). I am ace, queer, Appalachian, and a Novo Collegian. As a farmer, former union organizer, and current animal welfare volunteer coordinator, my "day jobs" focus on sustainable agriculture, volunteer human resources, and animal welfare. I process the intensity and complexity of real-life societal trauma and human resilience by writing high-intrigue modern horror chronicles (with a dash of adventure and comedy). This creative work completes my exploration of human behavior, fear, and power dynamics, and is deeply grounded in my practical understanding as a social worker and organizer.
