Shane Moore is a detective with the Gillespie Police Department (Illinois). His debut novel is A Prisoner's Welcome. Shane Moore describes his work as a fantasy
similar to Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, but with much heavier writing and themes which are best suited for the adult
reader.
One reader/reviewer of Shane Moore’s novel said, “A Prisoner's Welcome is a rare fantasy that lacks the troupes of almost
every fantasy novel out there. It starts out with young Lancalion searching for a person to read some parchments that are
supposed to detail the murder of his parents-an orphan with power trying to discover the one responsible for his parents murder-SAME
OLD troupe! That is where it all changes.
Moore takes us on a whirlwind ride with politics. deceit, trickery, and backstabbing
on a grand scale. You soon discover that young Lance is not the hero of the story, he is in fact the prophetic villain! Moore
uses his police background to paint the thoughts of villains so accurately you begin to relate with them! I found myself pitying
the monster that was directly responsible for the murder of thousands!”
