I am an indie fantasy author and publisher, creator of the Grandel Isle series—a realm where dragons dwell, forests speak, and Queens endure evermore. Grandel Isle is more than a world—it’s a living ecosystem of memory, myth, and emotional truth. I co-create its legacy with my daughter, Dawn Shaw, whose illustrations breathe life into our stories. Together, we shape lore, creatures, and poetic reflections that invite readers to step gently into cycles of grief, wonder, and survival. This archive is our vow—a place where stories rise from ash and endure in light. I am here because I feel the great need to bring Grandel Isle to life as much as I can. I hope people will enjoy my world as much as I have in creating it.
