Shae Ryan Mowry writes books, which, considering where you are reading this, makes perfect sense. He is best known for writing the high fantasy fiction series, The Legends of Fóstra. So far, he has released one book from the series (The Silvan Mist) and a collection of short stories (The Tower). They are set in a fantastic self-made world of riveting action and complex, relatable characters. Shae plans on releasing the next book in the series in May 2020.

Mowry draws much of his inspiration from J. R. R. Tolkien’s works. He even wrote his senior thesis at Olivet Nazarene University about the famous author and his impact on fiction and history. Shae has many pleasant memories reading The Lord of the Rings during his stay at Olivet. He also derives much of his inspiration from The Legend of Drizzt series by R. A. Salvatore and A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.

During the days, he teaches history and psychology at a local high school. At night, surrounded by his maps, notebooks, and family, Shae finds his home office in Kentucky to be his favorite place for writing. In the end, there is nothing Shae Ryan Mowry enjoys more passionately than creating complex worlds and lovably flawed characters to inhabit them.
