Britton

I am a Wildlife Biologist, writer and cryptozoologist from Texas, USA. I graduated from West Texas A&M University in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Biology, and have a long fascination with Ancient and Nautical History, Biological Science, Horsemanship and Cryptozoology. I am also an avid reader whose interests engulf a diversity of subjects, which are reflected in my writing portfolio. It is my purpose and desire to take the details and encounters from the writings of explorers and scientists of old, and incorporate these into beguiling tales of swashbuckling adventures for the enjoyment of young and old. I have published two historical fiction novels, and I specialize in painting.

Shalee’s novel ‘Captain Alonzo Johnson: Journey into the Unknown’ is available from Lulu Bookstore,  or on Amazon.
