Shawn Maravel is a storyteller at heart, drawn to the messy and beautiful spaces where heartbreak and hope collide. She’s drawn to characters who wrestle with grief, second chances, and the quiet bravery found in everyday healing. Author of The River House, Broken, and Healing in the Heartland, Shawn strives to tell stories that reflect life in all its ache and wonder. The River House follows Jocelyn’s return to her family’s riverside home and her uneasy reunion with her past. Broken journeys with Gabriel Creed through loss, longing, and the fragile art of rebuilding. In Healing in the Heartland, a chance road trip becomes a map for finding belonging, even when starting over. Readers often describe Shawn’s stories as raw, heartfelt, and deeply human. One reader proclaims, “her characters don’t just live, they breathe and bleed.” It is that kind of connection that reminds her why she writes, to reach into someone’s soul and hold space for their story too. Originally from New Jersey, Shawn has wandered more than she ever expected, shaped by the many places she has called home through her husband’s Army career. She has always been drawn to small towns, hidden roads, and that elusive sense of home that lives in the heart of all places. When she isn’t writing, Shawn can be found making memories with her husband, two kids, Rottweiler Daisy, and rescue cat Whiskey. If it’s a cool crisp morning or a storm is passing through, you’re likely to find her daydreaming on the front porch. Writing did not always come easily to her. She has faced self-doubt, messy drafts, and the long, humbling process of growth. Over time, she has learned that the journey is where the magic hides. She strives to live by that truth and to press forward, trust what feels raw and real, and never stop listening for the voices of characters whose stories ache to be told.
