Family Bones' author autograph session

4th volume preview: Family Bones #4 Available in March Previews


Shawn talks about the issue of dealing with family problems:

When you try to tell a story that hits so close to home, such as 'Family Bones', its hard not to get conflicted about it [...] There are so many sides to life and I didn't want to sensationalize anything. Reality can be scary enough. I worked really hard to give the readers an insight to the hidden horrors that you can't see behind the curtains. When the lights go out, what really happens in the darkness of your neighbors' homes? Do you even know what's happening right now in your own family?

farm of his Aunt and Uncle. The city boy is trying to keep up with the
very demanding Ray. Sean has only been on the farm for a little while but
already Ray has him picking rocks from the fields and plowing under

is based on a true story about teenage angst, family secrets, and murder
on a small Midwestern farm."
