Shawn Rost-Howen

Shawn grew up on a farm for the most part, spending part of her childhood as a military brat. The one constant in her life is story telling. She's always been a story teller--not a popular thing to be when you are five.

She's been with WCP four years now. In that time, she has completed three novels. The latest, Medicine Man, has found representation by The Zack Company, Inc. What advice does she give in the finding of an agent? "Don't give up. My search took sixty-five rejections. The good, the bad, and the ugly--I have seen them all. If you write and are willing to grow and learn, it will happen. Take nothing personal, and plow ahead."

Shawn follows a Native American life style--believing that each thing does indeed have its own spirit, and avoiding processed foods. If she couldn't kill it, catch it, or pick it in the wild, she doesn't eat it. Other than that she loves fast cars, good writing, and good editors. They are a writer's best friend.
