About

Cannon Shealy, Writer

I'm an amateur writer from Elk River, Minnesota. I frequently find myself writing westerns, noir, horror, and fantasy, or even combining genres. I enjoy delving into why we do what we do--all the traditions and subconscious cues that make us who we are. My favorite authors are the likes of Cormac McCarthy, Arthur Miller, and Stephen King.
​
I live with my grandmother and aunt, and frequently find myself getting ideas from the stories my friends tell and what I experience in my day-to-day life. I'm currently in Navy bootcamp, and hope to grow and develop as a person during my time in the military (not to mention all the inspiration I'll get there). After, I hope to get a degree in communications and become either a journalist or try my hand writing for Hollywood.
