Early life


Shayne was born and raised in a rural area near Syracuse, New York.

As a child, Shayne liked to tell stories and rewrite the endings of stories she had read as well as those of the horror movies she loved to watch.[2] Her first attempt at a novel came when she was older, when she mentally wrote a story while trying to comfort a sick baby; the story envisioned was a romance due to her mood. She soon transferred the story to a yellow pad.[3] Shayne took a job watching a neighbor's horses so that she could earn the money to buy her first typewriter. She soon finished three manuscripts, which she was unable to sell. Harlequin launched their Shadows Line, and Shayne sent a query letter to let them know that: "I'm just jumping up and down; so happy that you have created a line especially for me!" Although the editor rejected her first book, Shayne's enthusiasm spurred her to see more novels, and the second was purchased.[4] The novel became the first of Shayne's Wings in the Night series, and Shayne to continue writing the series after the Shadows Line was closed.[5]


Career


Shayne has had over 70 novels published, including women's fiction, thrillers, romantic suspense, paranormal, and category romance. She has also published several non-fiction titles in the area of spiritual self-help.[4] She has written for five publishers including Avon Books, St. Martin's Press, Penguin Putnam, Spilled Candy Books, and MIRA Books.[2][3][6] Her paranormal romances combine romance and horror, where the redemption of the monster is through love.[2] Many of her novels "[blend] mysticism into everyday life in a good vs. evil scenario."[7]

Shayne also worked as a writer for the soap operas Guiding Light and As the World Turns and considered accepting the position of co-head-writer before deciding to devote her time to her novels.[1][8]

Shayne's novels have appeared on the USA Today, Booksense and Waldenbooks bestseller lists, and Twilight Hunger reached Number 18 on the New York Times Bestseller List.[4] Many of her books have been chosen by Doubleday Bookclub, the Mystery Guild, and Rhapsody Bookclub.[6] On her thirteenth nomination for a Romance Writers of America RITA Award, Shayne won the award. She has also won three Career Achievement Awards from Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine.[6]


Personal life


Shayne has interest in the culture and religion of ancient Sumer, and included some of her research in her novels, including Destiny.[4][7] After several years of study at the Black Forest Clan, a chartered Wiccan seminary, Shayne became a high priestess and an elder in the Wicca religion and has been licensed as a minister. Shayne founded her own coven, the Hawks of RavenMyst, in a tradition, similar to a denomination, known as the RavenMyst Circle, that she helped found.[1][4][9]

Shayne has five grown daughters.[4] She married Lance on Valentine's Day in 2014. She resides in a small town in upstate New York.[3]
