Shaune’s father was an amateur astronomer and her eldest brother an avid science fiction reader, so perhaps it was inevitable that she developed an early enthusiasm for writing speculative fiction.
After obtaining a degree in geology from the University of Queensland, Shaune subsequently worked in geochemical laboratories, exploration companies, and, while living in the United States, at a multinational scientific institute involved in exploration beneath the ocean floors. A decade after returning to Australia, armed with a life-long addiction to SciFi and a broad scope of real-world research and editing experience, Shaune returned to her original passion, the writing of speculative fiction. She lives in Brisbane with her research scientist husband and a slightly eccentric border collie.
‘Bus Stop on a Strange Loop’, Shaune’s first novel, was published by Winterbourne Publishing in July 2011. The book is available in both digital and print formats directly from Winterbourne Publishing (http://www.winterbournepublishing.com.au/) or from on-line bookstores or through order at your local bookstore.
Shaune also hopes you enjoy reading some of her published short stories:
- ‘The Genocidal Villain of Mars’: AntipodeanSF Issue 122, 2008
- ‘Please Register’: AntipodeanSF Issue 125, 2008
- ‘Memory Lane’: The Nautilus Engine Volume 3 Number 3, 2010
And, if you like what you’ve seen so far, perhaps you’d be interested in purchasing a copy of Blue Crow Magazine Issue 2 (October 2010) to read a little piece of nonsense entitled ‘Family Gathering’ among other short stories written by a host of other authors.
