Shawn McGuire

Hi! I'm Shawn McGuire and I am the author of young adult novels that blend contemporary stories with magical elements. My books deal with harder topics (dating violence, death of a sibling, divorce, substance abuse, runaways, etc.) because I believe it's important to talk about these things. That can be hard to handle and a bit overwhelming, so I infuse a good dose of humor in my work as well because I also believe a sense of humor can help you get through just about anything.

I grew up in the beautiful Mississippi River town of Winona, Minnesota, the small town that inspired the setting for STICKS AND STONES and BREAK MY BONES. I lived in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin (Go Pack Go!) for many years and now my family and I call Colorado home.
