About Me

Hi! I’m Shadow. I hail from a short series of small towns on the east side of Pennsylvania, all less than an hour from Philly. I now live in Upstate New York with my cats: my lovebug, Misha, named after Misha Collins, and my tortie diva, Mina, named after herself.
I’ve been writing my entire life. I generally write flash fiction and poetry of varying genres. You can expect to find all of that and likely thought pieces as well as time goes on and I create more content. I won’t be posting with any kind of regularity but I do expect to post at least somewhat often.
