At just 18 years old, Shadonovic demonstrates remarkable maturity in both his writing ability and his journey as an author. He began writing at the tender age of six and, at 17, won first prize in the Fictionate.me contest in the non-adult category, where our co-host Heather served as a judge and curator for the anthology 'Unmoored: Worlds of Pure Chaos.' Since then, he has envisioned a world that could potentially span an impressive 54-book series. While his age might suggest youthful exuberance, our conversation with Shad on the show reveals a talent that is only beginning to flourish. Join us as we delve into the creative mind of the talented Canadian author, Shadonovic.

Today, we have a special guest joining us all the way from Dundee, Scotland. Hailing from the land of rolling hills and ancient castles, S.R. Malone is a talented writer who weaves intricate tales of science fiction and speculative fiction.

When he’s not busy with his three children, or walking his dog, he is lost in a stack of books. And somehow he still finds time to pen his own stories.

Stephen has a unique blend of inspiration from the likes of Philip K. Dick, Margaret Weis, S.D. Perry, and Harlan Ellison. The universe he has created explores the erosion of free will, Earth’s impending environmental catastrophe, and the enigma of android companionship.
