About
Hi! I’m Shana Dow, the author of young adult fantasy romance filled with fairytales, slow-burn love, and magic that comes with real consequences.I write stories for readers who love brave heroines, quiet courage, and romances that grow slowly—where feelings matter just as much as fate. My books are inspired by classic fairytales, reimagined with a little darkness, a lot of heart, and characters who have to choose who they want to become.When I’m not writing, I’m usually dreaming up new worlds, rereading favorite fantasy stories, or spending time with my family. I believe the best stories leave you hopeful, even after the hardest moments—and that love, in all its forms, is always worth fighting for.If you enjoy magical worlds, emotional journeys, and clean, slow-burn romance, I hope you’ll feel right at home here.
