Just Another Writer
Hello, and welcome all. My name is Cierra Shank, (I'm fairly certain you already knew that.)
You have found your way to the website of an aspiring author; my husband claims that I have both feet firmly planted in fantasy land, but I argue and say I only have one...and a half.
Fantasy has saved me. Oh yes, I love a good cliche' statement.
But really. When I was younger, all through school, I was heavily bullied and had few friends. So I built friends — [don't you pause and think I'm strange. Keep reading].
My childhood imagination never stopped, and I created people who were fun, interactive and always managed to get themselves in a spot of trouble.
They told me their stories and I wrote them down. I always knew I wanted to be an author, and hopefully (one day soon *fingers crossed*) that will be the case.
All About Cierra Shank
So let’s get down to business. You’re here, thank you for coming!—But you may be wondering...who is this woman?
Well, I couldn't be a bow wielding, sword fighting, gorgeous and witty queen unicorn, so I settled to write about one instead.
My name is Cierra Shank—and while I don’t have a degree in psychology or child development I am a woman of two kids who actually call me Mom.
I have a passion to help others. Really that is me in a nutshell.
If some perspective or experience of mine can help ease someone's burden, even for a small time, then I feel that I have accomplished what I set out to do.
I strive to be a lighthouse of hope, for anyone on the stormy sea of life, or even those smooth sailing, [let's be real, we all want to be smooth sailors].
My writing reflects trudging through the hard stuff, but learning to find beauty along the journey. I always write happy endings because although sometimes things don't turn out like we would like them to, I truly believe there is always a glimmer of hope if only we have the eye to see it.

Aspiring Author: What in the world do you write, anyway?
Of Peace and Fire
This is the book I am currently querying, cue the scared face emoji!!!
Queen Fermel is a cursed unicorn forced to live as a human after the dragons invade her world. Said to be the undoing of her unicorns, Fermel must fight to protect them from extinction alongside her chosen knight where duty and love are entangled.
Song of the Shadow Druid
This is my NaNoWriMo book that I am currently bringing to completion. A synopsis to be provided when it's done, but if a handsome assassin who enchants people with his song intrigues you, then this might be the book for you! <3
Many more books to come!
I have several different books lined up, outlined and ready for me to sit down and write them — you know in between taking care of toddlers and having a life.
