M. Shawn Petersen began to tell stories almost as soon as he could talk, but it took him years of traveling the world to find his story. When he is not writing, he loves to travel, create new stories, and passionately pursue personal development. Stella and the Timekeepers, Petersen’s first novel, originally came to him in a dream, but it wasn’t until he committed it to paper during National Novel Writing Month that this epic story sprouted wings and took flight.
