Shawn Carpenter

Shawn made landfall in the literary scene in 2024 with his debut fantasy novel, The Price of Redemption, launching the compelling Tides of Magic saga. A lifelong enthusiast of fantasy, pulp adventure, and 19th-century naval fiction, Shawn brings a rich and eclectic sensibility to his storytelling. Born and raised in Oklahoma, his diverse and improbably varied career path has provided ample inspiration for his narratives—and perhaps explains why, like many of his own characters, he admits to being an unreliable narrator himself.
