Shane Bolks
Shane Bolks (aka Shana Galen) loves historical romance and its edgier cousin, chick lit. They’re two very different worlds, but she’s as happy with a Cosmo, the latest edition of Vogue, and Brad Pitt as with a ratafia, a copy of La Belle Assemble, and Beau Brummell. .
A member of the Romance Writers of America®, Shane is active in the Northwest Houston RWA© and serves on the Board of the West Houston RWA chapter. She’s also a member of both the Beau Monde Regency specialty chapter and RWA’s Chick Lit Writers of the World chapter .
A former public school teacher in Houston, Texas, Shane now writes full time, which requires daily trips to the mall because shopping is the only activity that really allows her to think. (That’s her story, and she’s sticking to it!) Check out the latest news, excerpts, and contests on her website .
