About

E. Shane was born to write.  Her passion for writing was ignited at an early age when her parents would take her and her twin sister to the library.  It was during one of those early library visits, E. Shane happened upon the book series.  The stories took her on a journey like none she had ever experienced and sparked her creativity.   With each turn of the page E. Shane found herself waiting with baited breath to experience each twist and turn of the characters.  The words came to life for E. Shane and crafted her love for storytelling. 

But alas, all good things must come to an end.  For E. Shane, the end was the beginning.  When she finished the series she found herself unable to find another which kept her passion burning. She combed the library and local bookstores but no book inspired her in the same way.  That was when E. Shane took pen to paper and began to write her own stories.  She would daydream for hours creating characters, scenarios, villains and victors – constantly weaving their stories through the hills and valleys of love, life, family and friends. 

In 2010, E. Shane debuted her first novel Heart Over Mind a deeply personal and tender tale about a young woman’s and young man’s journey to find, keep and let go of love.

Reviews

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">“Being an advent reader and having a list of favorite authors that I read all the time, I have to say that when I read the preface for E. Shane's new novel, Heart Over Mind, I was immediately intrigued to read more. This book was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She is definitely on my favorite author list, among great authors such as the late E. Lynn Harris, Kimberla Lawson-Roby, Carl Weber, and a few others. E. Shane kept me wanting to read more and more, page after page. It has not only an appeal to women, but men should really sit down and read it also. E. Shane, please keep the novels coming!!!!!”<br /></span></em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"><span>            </span>~Nicole Mitchell</span></p><p></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"><span>            </span></span></p><p></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">“This book was great. It was hard to put down. Normally I wouldn’t read a “chick” book but I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. It was relatable and interesting; the different things that went on in their relationship, and how they made it through. This book will not disappoint!”</span></em></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"><span>            </span></span></em><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">~Josh Bond</span></p><p></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"></span></em></p><p> </p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">“Being a somewhat typical heterosexual male, I normally wouldn’t read a love novel (nor anything else for that matter), but this book is great because it tells the story from both of the main character’s perspective (Airen and Nate).
